==Plot==
As the Armored Fighters reached to the location, they were seen by Emperor Ryuuen. There Irie asked him about his purpose, and Emperor Ryuuen said that he came just to defeat them immediately, and he transformed himself into his armor form as Chariot Fighter Emperor. On the other hand, the Armored Fighters transformed themselves into their respective armor forms, and faced him in a battle. Meanwhile, Platinum told to Anaira to head on to a secret place to ask a favor. Because of this, Anaira told to Kyoko to head on to the location immediately where Emperor Ryuuen was, and Kyoko agreed. As they reached to a secret place, Anaira asked Platinum why she asked her a favor. Platinum, on the other hand, de-transformed back to her civilian form as Erika, and said that she decided to face Emperor Ryuuen without disguising as Platinum. Then she asked her daughter if is it okay for her to borrow her Armored Fighter Equipment to use it temporarily, and Anaira said that it's okay for her, and she gave her Armor Unlocker and Armored Super Upgrade 01 Key to Erika. Erika, on the other hand, gave her Armor Unlocker and her Armored Fighter Platinum Key to Anaira. She said to her that this time, her daughter will become Platinum for a while. And Anaira smiled.
In the battle, Emperor Ryuuen simultaneously attacked the Armored Fighters. But Hiroyo told them that they will never give up and continue to fight, and they did so. Kohei, Fatima and Minori, on the other hand, upgraded their armor forms into Meister Super Upgrade Mode and helped their fellow Armored Fighters to fight against Emperor Ryuuen. But unfortunately, they were all defeated by Emperor Ryuuen using his Chariot Scepter. Few moments later, Erika and Kyoko came in to the battle. They transformed themselves into their armor forms as Armored Fighter 01 Meister Super Upgrade Mode and Armored Fighter Caster respectively and fought Emperor Ryuuen. In order to test his strength to the two Armored Fighters, especially to Kyoko, he used his Chariot Scepter to attack Erika and Kyoko. But his attack was deferred by Kyoko using her Caster Axe to perform her counterattack. Meanwhile in Chariot Empire Headquarters, Mateo still didn't believe that Emperor Ryuuen's attack was deferred by Kyoko whom he called her a trying hard Armored Fighter. Mayor Akazawa, on the other hand, decided to go to Hirakawa City immediately to help Emperor Ryuuen despite that he was advised by Rie to not to go to the city as of this moment.
Emperor Ryuuen felt dismayed when his attack was deferred by Kyoko. And when the time will he use his finisher, the Emperor Slash, a lightning silver arrow suddenly attacked on him swiftly. He asked who was the one who attacked him and there, it was revealed that it was Platinum who attacked him swiftly using her Platinum Arrow. Unknown to him and the Armored Fighters, it was Anaira who disguised as Armored Fighter Platinum. Emperor Ryuuen asked Platinum about her purpose, and she said that she came to face him in a one-on-one match, which was very intersting on his part. And when the time Platinum and Emperor Ryuuen started to face each other in a battle, Mayor Akazawa came in his armor form as Chariot Fighter Ray and shot Platinum using his Chariot Arrow. Fortunately, Platinum deferred his attack using her Platinum Arrow. Then she asked Mayor Akazawa about his purpose, and Mayor Akazawa said that he came just to teach the Armored Fighters a very painful lesson. Because of what she found out, Platinum said to him that she must teach him a painful lesson along with Emperor Ryuuen. Mayor Akazawa, on the other hand, felt dismayed and started to attack Platinum. But Platinum attacked him swiftly and shot him using her Platinum Arrow, causing him to de-transformed back into his civilian form. Emperor Ryuuen, on the other hand, attacked her using his Chariot Scepter, but his attack was deferred by Platinum's counterattack. Then she used her finishing move, Platinum Target Burst, to defeat Emperor Ryuuen immediately. After the battle, both Emperor Ryuuen and Mayor Akazawa left immediately and headed back to Chariot Empire Headquarters. Since the Armored Fighters noticed that Anaira was missing, Hiroyo asked Erika where Anaira was, but Erika replied nothing. Then she asked Platinum where her older sister was, but Platinum said to her that she didn't know where she was, and left afterwards.
Meanwhile, Platinum hid in an enclosed area and there she de-transformed back into her civilian form as Anaira. There she said to herself that being Armored Fighter Platinum is a very difficult job for her because she need to hide her true identity to her fellow Armored Fighters. On the other hand, Hiroyo asked Erika why did Platinum left immediately after the battle. Erika, on the other hand, said to her that according to her reliable source, Platinum needs to return back to her secret headquarters immediately to monitor the situation throughout Hirakawa City. Then Kohei said to his mother that if she was sure that Platinum is truly an ally of the Armored Fighters. Erika said to him that Platinum is truly an ally of the Armored Fighters. In Chariot Empire Headquarters, Emperor Ryuuen and Mayor Akazawa returned back after their defeat. Emperor Ryuuen felt dismayed after he was defeated by Armored Fighter Platinum. Rie, on the other hand, said that Platinum was a very dangerous opponent for them aside from Anaira. Archos, on the other hand, said to them that he decided to face Platinum alone. Emperor Ryuuen asked him if he was serious to face Platinum alone, and Archos said that he was serious to do this, and he didn't regret his decision. Meanwhile, as she hid the Armor Unlocker and Armored Fighter Platinum Key, Anaira came back and there, she was seen by her fellow Armored Fighters. Hiroyo hurriedly hugged Anaira and asked her what was happened to her a while ago. Anaira said to her that she had a very personal job to be done at TransHead TV Media Center. Then Anaira whispered to Erika that she want to return back the Armor Unlocker and Armored Fighter Platinum Key if they returned back to TransHead TV Media Center. And Erika agreed.
In the rooftop of TransHead TV Media Center, Erika asked Anaira why she decided to return back the Armor Unlocker and Armored Fighter Platinum Key. Anaira said to her that it was a very difficult job for her to be Armored Fighter Platinum, because she can't try to hide her identity for a long time. Erika, on the other hand, said to her that she must never give up in any challenges and obstacles in her life. Erika also said to Anaira that she must try to hide her identity and disguised as Armored Fighter Platinum for a long time in order to test herself to fight against the Chariots as Platinum and not as Anaira. Because of this, Anaira understood, and she said to her mother that she could test herself to fight against the Chariots as another person. But she asked her mother how about her Armor Unlocker and her Armored Super Upgrade 01 Key. Erika said that she will use them temporarily, and she will return them back to her once her test was completed. Meanwhile at Anaira's office, Irie asked the Armored Fighters if they noticed that Erika transformed into an Armored Fighter. Chisato said to her that everyone noticed that Erika transformed into an Armored Fighter. She also said that she used Anaira's Armor Unlocker and Armor Key to transform into Armored Fighter 01 Meister Super Upgrade Mode to fight against Emperor Ryuuen a while ago. Alejandra, on the other hand, said that maybe Anaira had something to do personally, but she said that she didn't know if it is related to her job as a TV journalist or as an Armored Fighter. Moments later, Chihiro and other news reporters came into the office. She asked them where Anaira was, and they answered nothing.
As she walked to the streets of Hirakawa City, Anaira remembered what Erika said a while ago. She thought to herself if she could try to hide her identity to fight against the Chariots as Armored Fighter Platinum, and not as herself. There she was seen by Akiko and Mashiro. Anaira greeted them, and they greeted her back. Akiko asked her what she's doing, and Anaira answered her that she's taking a walk for a while. Anaira asked her where they will be heading on now, and Akiko said that she and her daughter will head back home right now. Afterwards, Anaira walked away from them. Moments later, the Chariot Soldiers suddenly appeared and they attempted to abduct Akiko and Mashiro. Because of this, Anaira hid to a narrow area and transformed herself into Armored Fighter Platinum. Afterwards, she came outside and faced the Chariot Soldiers in a battle while she told to Akiko and Mashiro to run away from danger. Using her Platinum Arrow, Anaira defeated them swiftly and simultaneously. As the battle ends, she used Platinum Target Burst to defeat the Chariot Soldiers immediately. After the battle, Anaira asked Akiko and Mashiro if they were okay, and Akiko said that they were already okay. Also, she thanked her for saving them with her daughter from danger, and Anaira thanked back. She said to them that need to go back home before the Chariot Soldiers suddenly appears again, and left afterwards. Back to TransHead TV Media Center, Hiroyo asked Erika why did she use Anaira's Armor Unlocker and Armor Key to fight against Emperor Ryuuen and Mayor Akazawa a while ago. Erika explained to her that she used it because her daughter needed to have a break from being an Armored Fighter, unaware that she gave Anaira a test on how long she will be disguised as Armored Fighter Platinum. Meanwhile, as she hid again in a narrow area, Anaira de-transform back to her civilian form after she fought against the Chariots. There she said to herself that she must believe to herself so that she could prove that she can disguise herself as Armored Fighter Platinum for a long time.
