Plot

Ayase's recent strange behavior has led Tatsuya to believe that Ayase's illness the Osiris Syndrome has gotten worse. Meanwhile Gien has released a dangerous criminal to spread a 30th Century disease the Reda Virus causing Don Dolnero to make an agreement with the Timerangers to provide a vaccine so they could stop Gien. However, to reproduce the vaccine quickly enough they'll need the City Guardians' help.
