Shun was walking towards his hometown even under scorching heat. Shun's face seemed forsaken when he remembered that Shirei ordered them to be on vacation. It turned out that Jim suggested it so that they can back off from their mission. Shun tried to insist Shirei but Shirei was firm with his decision. (Episode title)

Saemi was watering the flowers when he saw his brother. Saemi patted her brother and said that the scholarship in kendo was too good to look true. Kazuko (Shun and Saemi's mother) greeted his son welcome back.

Kaoru, Fei, and Reiko were spending their vacation in Violet Dormitory. Kaoru asked Fei for another watermelon and Kaoru ate it with frustration. Reiko who was spoon-scooping her watermelon slice said that she did not know that the proper way of eating a watermelon was what Kaoru was doing. Fei whispered to Reiko that Kaoru bought a new swimsuit. Reiko wondered what the swimsuit had to do with the watermelon. Fei told Reiko that she bought it because Shun promised Kaoru that they will swim. Reiko suggested to Kaoru that they should visit Shun's house and swim in their pool (Shun's poor to have a pool!). Reiko imagined a large pool in Shun's house and the three of them with Shun were having fun. Kaoru blushed and said it was too daring. Kaoru imagined a mini pool and they all fit themselves in it. Fei chuckled. ^.^

Mrs. Ikusawa asked Ruriko if she enjoyed their meal. Ruriko smiled and said that she really enjoyed it. Ruriko's mother said that it had been a while since they ate together. Ruriko's father remarked that Ruriko had always been busy. Ruriko apologized and her mother said it was all right. Megumi happened to pass by the Ikusawa residence while delivering ramen. When Ruriko saw Megumi, she excused herself to her parents. Ruriko approached Megumi. Megumi told her sarcastically not to bother her because the noodles would get cold. Megumi continued that she must have been laughing at her condition. Ruriko said that she only admired her because she was helping her family with their business. Megumi looked away and condemned Ruriko that it was because of her failure, she had to be on her "delivering-ramen" vacation. Megumi could have been fighting on earth defense jobs instead of delivering noodles.

Back in AEGIS Base, Miss Ochiai asked Shirei why he dismissed Shun and the others even though they were just trying so hard. Shirei did not answer, instead he gave Miss Ochiai paperwork and said that they should be done until the end of the day. Miss Ochiai took a brief peek at the papers, smiled, and agreed eagerly.

In the AEGIS Hangar, Bancho complained he was deprived of vacation. Megane called Bancho and showed him the letters of order that he received. Bancho scanned the letter. Megane held his glasses and asked him if he felt any better. Instead of being motivated as Megane have been expecting, Bancho cried loudly why his vacation was still not included. Bancho shook Megane and yelled that there was nothing more important than his vacation.

Kikai Shogun, Akuma Hakushaku, and Reiji Kageyama alias Shadow were having a meeting in a dark room. Kikai Shogun and Akuma Hakushaku criticized that humans were foolish and overconfident. After a while, Kikai Shogun stated that it was time for offense. Reiji told them that he would be able to enjoy it — watching humans struggle to their deaths like bugs. Akuma Hakushaku reminded Reiji that extinction was not their goal. Reiji insisted that he wanted to stomp on them. Kikai noted it was strange for Reiji to hate humans when he was a human afterall.

The scene switched to Dream Island. Birds flee from the island and after that a loud explosion was heard. A fort-like structure was revealed. Kikai Shogun appeared and declared that it was his most powerful fusion. Kikai Shogun combined himself to the fort. Reiji looked at Kikai Shogun from the ground and muttered he did not understand him — he hated humans because he was human.

Ruriko arrived at Tategami despite her ordered summer vacation. A sandstorm (Marilyn Monroe-wannabe makes a scene again) took place to hide the taking off aircraft. Jim ordered Jun and Misao to land their robots to a safe zone. Jim spoke confidently that they would sink the Invader staffs in Tokyo Bay.

Shun hurried Saemi, who told him that girls needed time for preparation. Saemi went out of the house wearing a pretty kimono and told Shun that he should be proud because he would be accompanied by a pretty girl. Shun said "Hmmph!" which made Saemi frown, but Shun smiled. Saemi forgot to show her kimono to their father, so she headed back to the house. Shun grabbed Saemi's hand and told her to forget about it.

The three international Gate Keepers were having a terrible fight in Dream Island. Apparently, Jun's Thunderbold failed to hurt Kikai Shogun's machine. Akuma Hakushaku was regenerating destroyed machines with his "infinite demonic power." The machine targeted Jim. Jim warned them that he would open his gate power all the way. Kikai Shogun did not worry a bit because his speed was only slightly faster than the speed of sound, and he could calculate all his movements. Jim was not succesful, and he was hurt as blood dripped from his head.
-
Apparently, Ruriko followed the International Gatekeepers using a speedboat. Ruriko attacked Kikai Shogun with her arrows. Jim warned Ruriko to back off because even robots did not work to them. Ruriko said she would never give up.

[Flasback] Way back in Ruriko's kindergarten year, Ruriko broke her teacher's vase. Ruriko's classmates teased her that it was her fault. Slime started to drop from Ruriko's nose and she started to cry. A masked Shun appeared from the window and stepped on the vase, destroying it completely. Then he jumped off and said goodbye to earth people (^^;). [/Flashback]
-
Ruriko kept to herself that she tried to change, she would never give up what she had earned. Ruriko ejected three arrows directly at Kikai Shogun. But Kikai Shogun's barrier hindered the arrows. Kikai Shogun's target had changed to Ruriko.

Yukino had perceived a vision from the snowy mountains. Yukino teleported out of the mountains.

Saemi was hurrying Shun to the festival. Shun joked that Saemi was like a kid and Saemi said that she was a kid, then she asked their mother. Kazuko told them for her they are both kids. Shun complained that he was already in high school. Shun stopped walking when he noticed something in the alley. In the narrow alley, was light falling snow and Yukino appeared. Yukino told Shun that a girl was waiting and crying. Yukino sent Shun (to a vision) to Ruriko's location.
-
[Teleport] Jim told Ruriko in a weak voice that she should not have come. Jim let out a weak sound implying to everyone that he was in pain. Jun asked Jim what was wrong. Jim did not answer. Ruriko cried out Jim's name. [/Teleport]
-
Shun called out Ruriko's name even if it was just a vision, but Yukino's vision took him back to the festival. Shun told Saemi and his mother that he had to go. Without waiting for an answer, Shun ran off. Kazuko assured Saemi not to worry because Shun would be back. Saemi became sad when his brother just suddenly ran off. To relieve Saemi, Kazuko volunteered to buy Saemi a cotton candy. Saemi complained that her mother made her sound like a kid.

Megane and Bancho found Shun and told him to get in the AEGIS Bus because a huge battleship (the fort) appeared in Dream Island. Shun continued running and said he would drive Yotahachi instead because it was faster. Megane insisted Shun to get in their bus because he received the permission of Shirei. Megane showed Shun the papers of order. Inside the bus was a red and white colored robot.

Ruriko summoned her Light of Miracle and healed Jim. Jim recovered health and so did his robot. Jim remarked that Ruriko's gate of life was touching. Kikai Shogun's battleship moved forward to their direction. Ruriko said she must fight or else she would be a sniveler. Nonetheless, Ruriko had already drained her stamina in releasing power so she ended fainting. Jim's robot assisted Ruriko's fall by catching her with the robot's hand. Yukino appeared before Ruriko (again, as a vision) and told her to stop crying because he would be coming.

The AEGIS Bus transformed into AEGIS Battle Bus. The bus stopped before the shore of Tokyo Bay, opposite Dream Island. Bancho cried that they could not go through the water because he could not swim. Megane asked Shun if he was ready and Shun confirmed he was. Megane pushed a button on the steering wheel. On the back of the bus, the red and white colored robot was ejected away to the direction of the island.

The red and white colored robot landed in the island. Ruriko saw the robot and knew it was Shun. Ruriko said something like, "Miracle Mask has finally appeared." Jim was horrified when he saw the robot and warned Shun that he would not be able to control that rowdy prototype. Kikai Shogun remembered Shun and warned him that he would make him pay back for what he did to him. Shun operated the robot that evaded Kikai Shogun's attacks, in a reckless manner though. Kikai Shogun failed to calculate the robot's movements. Even Misao's Gate of Sensors failed to sense its movements. Jun wondered if the robot was really just evading. Shun opened his gate ("Open the Gate!" and not "Gate Open!" anymore) and attacked with his Vacuum Missile. However Shun's attack missed. Kikai warned Shun that it would be hard for him to avoid his attacks, now that he was near their battleship. Jun seeing the robot's stance wondered if Shun would be able open its gate up to the red zone (to its limits). Jim said that it would likely produce an uneven output. Misao commented that it would be suicidal. Shun opened his gate, this time robot was successful. Light just flashed and both Kikai Shogun and Akuma Hakushaku instantly received the hurting. Kikai Shogun and Akuma Hakushaku screamed that it was impossible, then they both perish with their ship.

Bancho and Megane saw the explosion in the island. Bancho shook Megane while asking what happened to Shun and the British guy.

After a while, the island was calm. It was almost sunset. The robot rose after the explosion. A huge, deep crater was formed in the island and there were no remnants of the battleship (completely destroyed!). Jim remarked that the Invader staffs must have have failed to calculate that there was an idiot in the Far East Branch. Misao quoted that miracle was given to those who believe.

[Festival] Kazuko asked Saemi if she wanted to dance, but Saemi replied that she did not want to dance because Shun was a liar. Shun (now wearing a kimono) heard her and explained that he went off to ask his schoolmates to come. Saemi smiled. Shun, the others, along with Jim, Jun, and Misao smiled back. Kaoru greeted Kazuko Ukiya.

[Scenes] Jun was in a target-shooting booth, won almost all the prizes. Fei had a nifty hair-do that was done by Saemi and Kazuko. Megumi and Misao were talking in a dark corner. Reiko and Jim were playing by a pond. Bancho and Megane performing a dance, Megane told Bancho that he danced the wrong way — Bancho panicked (^^;).

Ruriko was with Shun. Ruriko blushed while trying to tell something. Ruriko was about to thank Shun for what he has done in the past and awhile ago but Kaoru broke in and called Shun. Kaoru grabbed Shun and reminded him that he promised that they would be swimming. Yukino appeared in the middle of a crowd and looked at Ruriko, then she disappeared. Ruriko smiled and thanked Yukino. The view of the festival was seen from atop.
