BRING DOWN TWO OF THE POWERFUL BRASS! PART 1

Shirei came to the AEGIS Hangar to check on the newly arrived cargoes. Megane showed Shirei the four cargoes, numbered 0, 1, 2, and 3. Shirei was pleased that the cargoes finally arrived unharmed. Megane opened a cargo and a mist came out from it, still unrevealing what was inside. (Episode Title)

Shun was on his regular job, patrolling the roads of Tokyo. After he finished patrolling, he reported to Miss Ochiai, who in turn told him to return back to the base. As Shun headed to the base, he noticed a Lotus 7 on his rear mirror. A blond guy was driving it with speed. Shun considered that the car as no ordinary Lotus 7, but as Super 7. The Lotus 7 increased its speed, and Shun took it as a challenge. Yotahachi was too fast that and it found it hard to turn in a curved corner. Lotus 7 had taken the advantage of this, resulting to overtaking Yotahachi. A police officer caught both of them and asked for their license. Shun showed his license and told the police officer that they met again (he was also the one who arrested him when he first drove Yotahachi). The blond guy stepped out of his Lotus 7 and also showed his AEGIS License. Both Shun and the police officer were shocked. The blond guy declared to Shun that he won that round.
In the airport, a long-haired lady passed through an employee without surrendering her papers. Another employee stopped the lady and asked her if she could understand Japanese. The long-haired lady showed her AEGIS license and spoke Japanese to the emlployee. The lady turned back to the employee and asked if she was speaking Japanese properly.
Somewhere in the streets of Tokyo was a girl (who had great semblance to Megumi) who was carrying a huge sack on her back. A police officer asked her if she ran away from home. The girl mumbled about how the police questioned her without a reason (even the attitude has great semblance to Megumi!). The police officer asked what she was mumbling about, without answering, the girl showed her AEGIS license. The police was shocked and allowed her to pass through. The girl walked away mumbling about the police's ignorance.

In AEGIS Base, it turned out that the blond guy, the long-haired lady, and the girl who looked like Megumi were visitors of the Far East Branch. The blond guy introduced himself as Jim Skylark, a Gatekeeper from the United Kingdom Branch. Shun commented that his name sounded like a racer. Fei said she heard that he was called Flying Scot. The long-haired lady introduced herself as Jun Thunders, a Gatekeeper from the North American Branch. Kaoru remarked that Jun Thunders was beautiful and Ruriko added that she could pass for a model. Kaoru asked Ruriko if she meant she was better than Jun. Ruriko told Kaoru that that was not what she meant. ^_^; The girl who looked like Megumi introduced herself shyly that she was Misao Sakimori, a Gatekeeper from the German Branch. Reiko said something like, "Ahhh, from Germany but not German!" Misao mentioned that her father worked in Germany. Reiko remarked that she looked a lot like Megumi. Megumi and Misao went Hmmmphing! each other. ^_^ Shirei thanked the three International Gatekeepers for coming to Japan. Jim asked for the recorded battles of Gate Keepers of Far East branch. Shun had a shocked and ashamed look in his face.

As they watched the video, Jim and Jun laughed. The Cannonball incident was shown in the video and Jun mentioned that it was like the one she saw in Los Angeles in 1967. Jim told Jun that it was the Invader Classification Type T-60. Jim criticized Shun's way of fighting the Iron ball. The Underground Digger was also shown, and Misao said that it was similar to the Invader she met at the French Dam. Jim told Misao that he saw it too and that it was Classification Type ET-11. On the screen was Shun fighting with the Underground Digger in an angry manner. Jun remarked that emotional release of power was reckless. Kaoru explained that it was just Shun's first time then. Ruriko added that she received official training directly from AEGIS so she was always there to support Shun. Jun laughed and asked if she meant she had an official training for a costume party as the video played all the events when Ruriko wore costumes (Costumes: Tourist guide, Chain Ruri, Shoe polisher girl). Reiko told them that they were being unfair for they have always beem trying their best. That time the video was playing all the parts when Reiko's piano got smashed. Jun laughed at what she saw. Jim told the Fareastern Gatekeepers that in times of war, results were the ones that count. Bancho told them to wait until they see his actions. Shun told them to look when Fei defeated the Jumbo plane with the Gate Engine. Megumi remarked that she looked wonderful when she protected Shun against the Chainsaw with her with the Gate Engine's aid. Kaoru told them to watch closely when the video played how Kaoru (Kaoru was also using the Gate Engine) and Shun fought the Robot Bullet train. Jim told them that it was wonderful. Shun became spirited and asked if he really meant it. Jim said the Gate Engine was wonderful. Jim offensively said that they were not bad for guinea pigs. Shun rose from his chair and threatened Jim that he would show him the door. Shun attempted to punch Jim but he evaded it very quickly! Jim just revealed his Supersonic Gate. Jun said attacking without knowing the enemy was being reckless. Misao quoted, "Know thy enemy and know thyself and the battle goes your way, basic..." The video stopped playing and Jim told the Far East Gate Keepers that the three of them received an order directly from the AEGIS Main Headquarters in New York to eliminate the Invader staffs. Jim continued that Fareastern Branch should support them, ONLY them. Shun asked Shirei if it were true, and Shirei nodded. Jim said all of them should watch their fight, then the three of them went out of the room. Kaoru yelled that they were too much. Ruriko suggested that they should go to the World Headquarters. Fei agreed that it was a good idea. Shun was about to ask Shirei about it but he was already gone. Bancho bawled and demanded for his action clips.

Jim, Jun, and Misao entered the AEGIS Hangar. Jim observed the cargoes and spotted on the cargo with the number 0. Jim asked Megane what the "rowdy" cargo # 0 was doing there. Megane told Jim that the Far East Branch was equipped with it. Jim told Megane to shut up and show their cargoes. "Hai, de yansu..."

In Tategami campus, the Gate Keepers and Bancho were all restless, under the torrid sun. Shun complained that the weather was too hot. Kaoru removed her clothes, Shun shocked told her not to, but Kaoru only removed her uniform because she had a gym shirt underneath. At the rooftop of where the Gate Keepers were sheltering, Bancho shrieked that he could not forgive the hot weather but he could not forgive the British guy more. Shun admitted that Jim might be right because they were not experienced fighters. Bancho asked Kaoru what she thought about it. Kaoru said that she just joined Gate Keepers because she was moved by "Ukiya-taichou's" actions, so there was difference between it and motivation. Reiko shared to them that she just joined Gate Keepers because she always wanted to be a witch. As usual, Megumi praised herself and said that she was different because she was the best. Shun asked Fei if she was confident enough in joining them, she says no (she remembered how the government took away her grandpa and brother). Ruriko rose from the bench and told them to get a hold of themselves. Shun asked her what she thought. In reply, Ruriko told Shun that she was different. Ruriko scolded them that they should change. The others just back out from her and became more restless-looking. Reiji appeared and asked Ruriko what her problem with the others was. Ruriko said it was nothing. Ruriko asked him if he was in Tategami to spend summer vacation. Reiji said that he was doing something in the library. Ruriko noticed that he was carrying books about Politics and the Society. Ruriko commented that they all looked hard for her. Reiji said he was just interested about the society. Then a girl named Aya approached Reiji. Ruriko asked if they were going out. Reiji chuckled and explained that Aya was just helping him with the Politics Research Club. Ruriko asked if their club would have student protests. Reiji chuckled again and said they were not radicals. Another girl approached Reiji. After the girl apologized to Reiji for being late, Reiji said his goodbyes and went off with the girls. Megumi who was observing murmured to herself that they were just dating in the name of a club, then she emphasized that it was indecent ("Decent with and IN in front of it!"). Kaoru said that Reiji's club seems to be fun. Ruriko continued with her scolding speech and said that if Reiji was with politics they were with Earth Defense. The others looked more restless than before.

Somewhere in Tokyo Bay, a Battletank seemed to be taking over an island called Dream Island.

Back in the AEGIS Base, the screen showed a Battletank ravaging the island. Jim asked if the Battletank was a variation of E-19. Jun disagreed and said that it was not a type that they had seen. Shun came into the base, and Jim commented that they were late. Shun asked Shirei to give them the go signal but Jim interrupted and told Shirei that they would be going. Jim contacted Misao (on screen with Megane - perfect pair ^^;), who reported that the new Gate Engine was ready. Jim admonished Shun not to bother them, then he went away with Jun.

On Dream Island, Shun climbed to the Gate Engine and said that old type was not obsolete. Shun noticed the helicopters above. Jim, Jun and Misao opened their gates, then each helicopters opened its head and revealed 3 robots. Shun and the others were all amazed when they saw the robots.

Back in AEGIS Base, Shirei introduced the new Gate Engine — the Gate Robo.
-
Jim, aboard the green and yellow Gate Robo 02, checked the gate energy; Jun, in the blue and white Gate Robo 01, checked the hydraullic (hydraullic _something_), voltage and the gate pressure; and Misao in the grayish black Gate Robo 03, checked the main computer and the sensors. After inspecting their robots, Jim commanded to start operation. The Battletank blew bazookas at the Gate Robo 02, but Jim (note: Gate Robots acted with the operators) evaded with Hypersonic speed and remarked that his enemy was as slow as a worm. A smokescreen camouflaged the Battletank and Jim asked Jun to support him. Jun attacked with her Thunderbolt. The Battletank seemed to have dodged the attack, so Jim asked Misao the future location of the Battletank. Misao opened her Gate of Future Sensors (perceives the future that will happen in 10 seconds maximum) and said that the distance will be 1,130 (I forgot the unit…maybe km or m) at the location 11 o clock and 11 minutes. Jim accelerated (speed of sound multiplied to 7 = Mach 7) then plunged onto the Battletank. Kikai Shogun revealed his face in the Battletank. Jim knew it was him. Kikai Shogun spotted Shun (who did a gruelling crime destroying Kikai Shogun's cheek ^_^;) and went for him. Jim saw Shun and other's presence and yelled at them to evacuate. Shun told Jim that the enemy might escape but Jim warned him that they could not win over them. Ruriko pushed Shun off the Gate Engine and climbed on it herself. Ruriko attacked with her Arrow of Light, but Kikai Shogun managed to dodge it and continued to go for them. Shun alertly pushed Ruriko away from the Gate Engine. Kikai Shogun went directly to the Gate Engine, destroying it. After that, Kikai Shogun escaped to the bay.

Ruriko woke up and asked the girls (Megumi's not with them, what do we expect?) about the enemy. They implied that Kikai Shogun have escaped by giving her a fallen look. Outside, Jim confronted Shun and asked him why he ignored his instructions. Ruriko went out and confessed that she should be blamed. However, Shun stopped her and took his responsibility as the captain. Jim forgave them and said that they would consider that incident as a test drive. Jim continued that next time they should not interfere. The Gate Robots stand tall in front of the completely ruined Gate Engine.
