==Synopsis==
In an unexpected situation, Anaira accidentally crossed paths with her mother, Erika Hayashibara, in an interview for her nightly news program.
==Plot==
Anaira and Irie, along with Rigor, faced the Chariot Soldiers in a battle. Meanwhile, after facing the remaining Chariot Soldiers, the Armored Force Fighters helped Hiroyo and the Armored Fighters to defeat the Chariot Fighters. They defeated them using their respective finishers. After the battle, Hiroyo thanked the Armored Force Fighters for helping them.
On the other hand, Anaira, Irie and Rigor defeated the Chariot Soldiers. After the battle, Anaira told them that they need to go back to TransHead TV Media Center immediately. Meanwhile, Kazumi asked Miyuki about the mayor's action to solve the massive invasion in Hirakawa City. Miyuki replied that he will call the Special Action Force Group of the National Police and the National Army to conduct a plan to solve the massive invasion of the Chariot Soldiers.
Returned back to TransHead TV Media Center, Hiroyo reported that they've already defeated the Chariot Soldiers. Kohei, on the other hand, told to his sister that they had a struggle to defeat the two Chariot Fighters -- Triskaide and Archos. But in the end, they defeated them immediately. Anaira thanked her fellow Armored Fighters for the accomplishment of their mission. Meanwhile, in Chariot Empire Headquarters, Emperor Ryuuen disappointed about the outcome of the mission which was headed by Triskaide and Archos, so he ordered them to undergo a disciplinary training. Negative, on the other hand, volunteered himself that he will secretly monitor the situation in the human world. Emperor Ryuuen agreed this, and he sent him to the human world.
At night, while doing her nightly newscast, Anaira was shocked when she saw a face of a senator that looks familiar to her in the video. The senator she saw in the video is none other than her mother, Erika Hayashibara. Erika gave her reaction about the massive invasion of the Chariots in Hirakawa City. After she saw the video and a quick report by Chihiro, Anaira asked Chihiro about Erika's reaction, and Chihiro explained to her that Erika called the Hirakawa City Mayor to perform an action to solve the massive invasion of the Chariots immediately. Later after her nightly newscast, Anaira asked Chihiro if she had Erika's number, so she can call her for an interview. Chihiro replied nothing, and she forgot to ask Erika about her phone number. In an unexpected way, Anaira's mobile phone rang, and she answered it. She found out that her mother, Erika, called her. She asked her how she got her phone number, and Erika replied that it's not important to find out how she got her daughter's phone number, and the important was she already called her daughter again after a long time. Erika told to Anaira that she wanted to have an interview with her tomorrow at 9am in her office at the Senate, and Anaira agreed. After the call, Chihiro asked Anaira about the person who called her. Anaira replied that it was Erika who unexpectedly called her. She also told Chihiro to call the production staff of her nightly news program to prepare for her interview tomorrow, and Chihiro did.
The next day, the production team of Anaira's nightly news program prepared all the equipment and other materials they will use for their interview at Erika's office at the Senate. Anaira finally met Erika personally, and their interview started. Meanwhile, a group of Chariot Soldiers came in and attacked the people at the Tamayama Park and Zoo in Shiratori St., northern Hirakawa City. The Armored Fighters, except Anaira, along with Hiroyo and Irie, came in. They transformed themselves into their armor form and fought the Chariot Soldiers. In Chariot Empire Headquarters, Triskaide and Archos saw the situation happened in Shiratori St. They were both disappointed what happened there.
Meanwhile, the interview between Anaira and Erika continues as Anaira asked Erika what will be her action in order to end the massive attack of the Chariots in Hirakawa City if she is the mayor of Hirakawa City. Erika answered that she will call all authorities to monitor the situation, and she will also call the army troops and the Special Action Force Unit of the National Police to defeat all Chariots immediately. On the other hand, Rigor, Mikoto and Aria can't believe that Erika is now a senator after she was missing for three years.
