After losing Kaori to Maria and Camera Dimension, the Jetmen return to Sky Camp disheartened by losing their teammate. Gai blames Camera Dimension for taking her and that he couldn't save the woman he loved; Ryu tries to sympathize but Gai tells him to not do so. Meanwhile, Maria boasts about capturing White Swan to the other Vyram generals; but Radiguet laughs, stating that no matter what she does, she will not surpass him. Maria silences Radiguet, stating that his hubris towards her will only go too far and to keep watching her, as Gray looks on. Elsewhere, Camera Dimension continues to attack people at random with the Lens Beam, including a waitress and a tennis player. Maria laughs at the captures, but Gai appears yelling at her to let Kaori go with Maria telling him that he's being too reckless in the way he's asking. Gai then pleads, going down on hands and knees to free Kaori, but the Vyram general kicks and steps on him, stating that she'll teach him manners for his action making him squirm. Ryu and the others run to Gai making Maria stop and making Gai continue to plead for Kaori's life, but Ryu tells Gai that he's wasting his time with this action. Maria states that if they want Kaori back, give her the head of Red Hawk, shocking both Gai and Ryu in the declaration. Gai stares at Ryu apprehensively as he remembers Kaori's tears from her rejection of him; he rushes towards Ryu but his leader asks him if a Vyram is going to keep a promise; while at Sky Camp, Odagari worries that Maria's actions are tearing the team apart. Gai stops his attack on Ryu as Maria orders Camera Dimension to attack with the Flash Beam, knocking the team away.
Gai blames himself for Kaori's loss. The team sits together at base, Ryu tells Gai it's not his fault. On the Vyram spaceship, Maria and Radiege are at odds, as she is very smug about the capture of White Swan, and Radiege has his personal vendetta about the Jetmen. Gure watches their posturing alertly. Maria sends the camera monster out to cause more havoc. Gai catches up with them and shouts, "Give her back to me!" "Beg for it, boy." Gai goes to his knees and Maria kicks him. The other Jetmen arrive only to hear Maria tell Gai if he wants Kaori back, he'll have to fight his teammates. To their horror, he does attempt to attack them. But he cannot really fight, hysterical as he is he knows, as Ryu points out, "they won't give her back to you!" They return to the Sky Camp, where they analyze the readings they've taken of the Camera monster. There is a weakness, if only they have a gun powerful enough to shoot it. Their guns are too small. The robot is too big.

Returning to base, Gai asks the Commander what they need to do to save Kaori; but Odagari tells him to calm and that the only way to save her is to destroy Camera Dimension. When Gai asks how with only four Jetmen, Odagari states merely "there is a way". Showing footage of Camera Dimension, she shows that when it fires the Lens Beam, its shutter opens; thus the only way to attack is from within. As they plot, Maria sends the Dimensional Beast into the city to attack and destroy it with the Lens Beam while she states that no one can stop her, not even Jetman; even as the heroes descend upon her. As they approach Maria, she states they choose to die and sends Camera Dimension after them, which shoots them down and prepares to use the Lens Beam on them. As it fires, the quartet use simultaneous Bird Blasters on the beam, appearing to push it back until Gray jumps in the way and stops Camera Dimension's assault before shooting at Jetman himself, forcing them to untransform. Camera Dimension shoots the Lens Beam, capturing Raita and Ako and forcing Odagari to tell Ryu and Gai to run away. Maria asks Gray why it helped her, and all it can do is recall Maria's piano playing, stating her performance was magnificent. Tran sees the current event as interesting as Radiguet looks with contempt at the scene.
Maria attacks the city again to draw out the Jetmen. When they arrive she sets the Camera monster at them. They fire their guns together and the monster's beam is losing ground against their combined attack. Gure comes between their shot and Maria, preventing her from being injured in the melee. However, the Jetmen are knocked out of their costumes in the blast, and the Camera gets Lyta and Ako! Chokan shouts into her communicator, "Ryu! Gai! RUN!!!!!" They flee as fast as they can.
 
   
  +
Back at Sky Camp, Ryu and Gai are working on the Jet Striker with the two working civilly together, giving each other tools and working on schematics by Odagari's orders. Despite the work, Gai wonders if this plan of the commander's will be enough to save Kaori, but she states it's the only option they have, being a weapon that can both stop Gray and Camera Dimension. But without warning, Maria takes over the monitors in the base and appears before Ryu and Gai in a tire, tormenting them about their friends calling for help while showing a photo of Kaori and threatening to burn it with a flame from her hand. Within the photo, Kaori cries out in pain as the flames attempt to consume her, leading to Gai to rush to her rescue; Ryu tries to stop him but Odagari tells him to let him go in order to finish their new weapon of hope: the Fire Bazooka.
Maria asks Gure why he helped her out. He explains that he really enjoyed her piano playing. On the ship, the other Vyram consider this to be a curious development.
 
   
  +
Angered by Maria's action, Gai rides off on his motorcycle until he's suddenly attacked by Maria and Camera Dimension throwing him off. Maria asks him to behave himself and join her photo collection as the Dimensional Beast fires it's film rolls to constrict the male, but he flies towards it and kicks it down. When Gai charges towards Maria, she asks if Gai cares about Kaori's fate, preparing to burn the photo again. Back at base, Ryu continues to work on the Fire Bazooka but an explosion knocks him back, making him frustrated that he's doing it on his own. Maria assaults Gai with her weapons and the Grinam as a means to prevent Gai from transforming, tossing him around with her rope and into nearby garbage. At the same time, Ryu completes work on the Fire Bazooka as it revs up for it's first battle.
Gai and Ryu are working on Ryu's Jet-Speeder, the small dragster Ryu drives to battle. They are turning it into a cannon, but the initial plan was for it to be held by all five of them, and they must adapt it to the situation as it currently is. Maria accesses their screens and shows them Kaori's photograph. She threatens to burn it, animating the photo so that they can hear Kaori crying for help as the flames sprout up around her. Gai cannot bear it, and he races out to answer the Vryam challenge. Chokan orders Ryu to stay put and work on the cannon.
 
   
  +
Gai continues to avoid the Grinam and Vyram assaults, weakened until Maria asks Camera Dimension to fire it's Lens Beam towards him, with Black Condor weakened to the point of taking the blow. Suddenly, Red Hawk drives towards the battle with the Jet Striker but is too late to prevent Gai from fading away from the attack. Ryu flies out of the vehicle as it flies off a cliff, forming into a huge cannon formation transforming into the Fire Bazooka. With weapon ready, Maria holds up the album, asking if he cares about his friends; but he decides to continue preparing to attack, locking the weapon onto Camera Dimension. Determined to save his team, Ryu prepares to fire against Camera Dimension but knows that he can't potentially bare with the shock of using the Fire Bazooka alone. The two shoot their respective attacks, with Red Hawk flying off from the shock slamming into the rocks as the shell approaches Camera Dimension until Gray runs in and once again takes the blast, ripping off an arm and causing an explosion large enough to send the album to the ground and release all of it's captives, including the other Jetmen.
Gai meets with the Vyram minions at a dump-site. Maria keeps him semi-helpless by threatening to destroy Kaori's photo if he changes into costume. He fights them valiantly, but eventually is on the verge of collapse when Maria tells the Camera to take him at last. Ryu arrives in the dragster just in time to see Gai vanish. Ryu ignores Maria's threat and aims the cannon at the Camera. When he fires, the backlash throws him against the hill behind the cannon. Gure again protects Maria from the shot, but this time the impact is powerful enough to knock both of them for a loop, leaving her unconscious and Gure with an arm to put back on. The photos vanish, and the some dozen + people appear. The Jetmen hustle them away and turn to fight, Gure is able to inflict considerable damage even one-handed. Ako manages to hit Maria a few times. Lyta and Gai do some double-teamwork to inflict serious damage on the Camera monster. When they all fire the weapon together, the monster is badly damaged so that it has to go big. They call in their planes to defeat it, forming a fiery phoenix.
 
   
  +
Ryu reunites with the team and they make the other captives run away and the rest of the team transforms. Red Hawk makes quick work of the Grinam as Gray attacks him with his working arm. Ryu tries to kick Gray but the robot catches him and spins him around, throwing him into a cliff which Red Hawk bounces off and punches Gray in retaliation. White Swan responds to Maria's attacks by shooting her with the Bird Blaster before she's cross chopped by Blue Swallow. Black Condor and Yellow Owl combo into the Howling Attack, with Gai thrown by Raita into Camera Dimension and him slashing it with the Bringer Sword before Yellow Owl smashes it with a Rock Drop. Ryu then summons the Fire Bazooka, with the whole team using their energy to create a massive firebird that destroys Camera Dimension until the Dimension Bug reformats it into growing. The team fuse into Icarus Haken and use Jet Phoenix to make quick work of the giant.
Gai tosses stones into the lake. Everyone is thanking Ryu. When Kaori does he insists that actually Gai did much of the work. He moves over to where Gai stands, offering him a handkerchief to wipe the blood and dirt from his face. But Kaori chooses that time to come out and say that she really LIKES Ryu. (As if we hadn't noticed) Furious, Gai jumps on his motorcycle. He throws his helmet on the ground and rides off recklessly, but he can't outdistance the pain. He crashes his cycle, and lying on the ground, crushes a tiny daisy crying, "Why don't you think of me?!"
 
   
  +
Later, Gai throws rocks into a lake as the team thank Ryu for saving them; yet when Kaori states she knew Ryu would accomplish this, he responds it wasn't just him and that Gai assisted. Ryu tries to treat Gai's wounds but is stopped; as Kaori admits that no matter what Ryu thinks of her, she still has feelings for him. Ako takes the confession in stride, but Gai turns away and rides off without his helmet, driving as fast as he can until he falls off his bike. On the ground, Gai cries out wondering why Kaori won't love him, sobbing while grasping onto the ground beneath. Meanwhile, Maria remains prone on the ground as Gray reattaches his arm to his body. The robot then lifts the Vyram female up and carries her away back to the Vylock.
Gure gathers his arm up and restores it to his body. Then he gathers up the unconscious Maria and carries her back to the Vyram spaceship.

After losing Kaori to Maria and Camera Dimension, the Jetmen return to Sky Camp disheartened by losing their teammate. Gai blames Camera Dimension for taking her and that he couldn't save the woman he loved; Ryu tries to sympathize but Gai tells him to not do so. Meanwhile, Maria boasts about capturing White Swan to the other Vyram generals; but Radiguet laughs, stating that no matter what she does, she will not surpass him. Maria silences Radiguet, stating that his hubris towards her will only go too far and to keep watching her, as Gray looks on.
