The J.A.K.Q. are troubled by a flute-playing Invader Robot who wins over children and uses them to protect his own nefarious goals.
Plot[]
At Dreamland, there are kids playing rides, such as roller-coaster, merry go round, ferris wheel, carousel, and many more recreations. Hell's Angel spots such place, claiming it was an amusement park that he's heard, and everyone looks like having so much fun, so many beloved children here before going. Riding merry-go-round, Hell's Angel feels exciting, terrific and wonderful. When the hat flies from the head, he jumps out of it to find that hat. Falling, the children begin to see Hell's Angel until they run from him, as Hell's Angel want to attract them with this horn flute. Playing the horn, he entertain the boys and girls to gather around and dance together following his rhythm.
At J.A.K.Q. HQ, Banba claims CRIME's Hell's Angel is dancing with children. Seeming to fit that situation, Sakurai and Higashi shows Banba where Hell's Angel is, by tossing the red rose into the map destination at AE-105. Heading to Dreamland, the J.A.K.Q. finds where the monster, as Hell's Angel is happy with roller-coaster. Getting dizzy, Hell's Angel then rest beneath the tree where he can't enjoy many thrilling rides for a longer time, until he was approached by J.A.K.Q.. He replies because he wants to talk with them about unconditional surrender, guessing that violence doesn't really appeal to him. Appreciating his proposition, J.A.K.Q. denies Hell's Angel's request, but rather their mission to defeat CRIME. Hell's Angel's mission is defeat J.A.K.Q. as well, but he doesn't seem about Dia Jack's Electric Sword, all he wants is a kiss from Heart Queen. Disheartened, Hell's Angel is going to rework and figuring out his plan to defeat J.A.K.Q. without shedding any blood.
Back to HQ, J.A.K.Q. encounters Hime once again as he serves Banba slurping down a cup of ramen here. Telling a story number two, Hime thinks Banba's count is wrong, though, because it should go 1, 2, 1 even 2, applausing Hamster-kun even telling a story about a teacher is talking to little Yamaguchi's mother, but Yamaguchi hasn't been doing his homework lately due to being sick lately. Daichi supposes it's a hilarious story Hime ever made. Higashi tell Hime to cut it out, and that's not a theater while luring out Hime out of J.A.K.Q. HQ. Mizuki advises Banba to act more like a commander, not eating a ramen here. Daichi excuses it's an operation room either. Banba seems that's a good stuff which Hime knows just how to blend the flavors perfectly. Daichi offers Banba to eat his ramen, but he gives this food and also Hamster-kun at that bowl. Calling to Sakurai, Banba admires him that Hell's Angel told us to surrender to him, messing with us.
At the park, Hell's Angel continues to play the horn flute while dancing, as the girl sees him, letting the children to come no matter what. A boy then leaves to follow after Hell's Angel, taking permission from her mother. When Hell's Angel played his horn flute, the children couldn't resist following him. After hearing he was after children again, J.A.K.Q. headed out to investigate. Banba knows Hell's Angel is the one who lures out the children with a horn flute, like the Pied Piper of Hamelin. Hime asks Banba about this, indicating it's an old legend from Germany when the city of Hamelin was overrun with rats, with a man playing a flute appeared and agreed to drive the rats out, but none of the citizens would pay the man for his work, and the Pied Piper plays his flute and took all the children in the city and disappeared. Hime appreciates Banba's storytelling, and it was really terrifying story.
