==Plot==
Emperor Ryuuen made an evil laugh loudly after he defeated Triskaide and Archos. Then he said that this will be the time that he will accomplish the mission of the Chariots to eradicate Hirakawa City. Unknown to him, Anaira defeated Mayor Akazawa and Mateo and both of the two Chariot Fighters died in her hands. Meanwhile, as she walked along the city streets, Anaira said to herself that she will definitely save the city whether it will put her life to at risk. She also said that she will never forgive the Chariots, especially Emperor Ryuuen and Chariot Monster Thrust, for the death of her younger brother.
On the other hand, all the media representatives, including Miyuki and her news team, underwent a battle training with the North Chevronian Army. President Shinozaki, meanwhile, also underwent a battle training together with her Presidential Security Group. Back to Hirakawa City, Anaira saw a group of Chariot Soldiers along with Chariot Monster Thrust. There she transformed herself into Armored Fighter 01 Infinity Mode and faced them in a battle. Meanwhile, Kazumi and other members of the Vampire Squad continued facing the Chariots in a battle. Unknown to them, they were secretly observed by Emperor Ryuuen, who was still inside the powerful sphere. On the other hand; Erika, along with Hiroyo, the Armored Energy Fighters and other members of the Vampire Squad and other Armored Fighters, continued fighting against the Chariots. But some of the Chariots headed on to other location somewhere in the city, making the other Armored Fighters and other members of the Vampire Squad followed them afterwards and this leaves Erika, Hiroyo, Minori and Hiroko behind together with the remaining Chariots.
In Yasuda Avenue, Mashiro and Akiko was seen by Alejandra who was currently fighting against the Chariots. Then the two Armored Fighters helped her in a battle. Afterwards, they defeated their opponents by using their respective finishers. After the battle, they headed on to their next location in order to defeat other Chariots. Meanwhile, Anaira continuously defeated the Chariot Soldiers using her Infinity Gun Blade. Thrust, on the other hand, felt disgusted while he saw her defeating his henchmen, so he attacked her using his Thrust Saber. Unfortunately, his attack became ineffective due to Anaira's counterattack. As Anaira became more vicious, she sadistically attacked Thrust, leading him to suffer more pain. Afterwards, Anaira used her finishing attack, the Armored Infinity Slash, to defeat him immediately and thus, leading Thrust to his second death. After the battle, Anaira said that the justice was finally served to her younger brother and left, leaving Thrust's dead body behind.
As Kazumi and other members of the Vampire Squad continued defeating the Chariots, Emperor Ryuuen surprisingly attacked them using the laser beams. Then he greeted for them for their victory and he said that he came to give them a punishment for what they did. Afterwards he attacked them simultaneously using the laser beams, making them suffered. Kazumi, on the other hand, performed a counterattack using her Eternal Scepter. Yoshinori, Raijin and Nailea, on the other hand, were started to helping her in her battle. As he noticed this, Emperor Ryuuen began firing at the three members of the Vampire Squad using his Hazard Scepter. Meanwhile; Alejandra, Mashiro and Akiko defeated the Chariot Soldiers using their respective finishers. Afterwards, they headed on to their next location to face another group of Chariots there.
In North Chevronian Army headquarters, the general captain ordered the soldiers to head on to Hirakawa City immediately to help the Armored Fighters and the Vampire Squad to defeat the Chariots. Then they deployed another group of military tanks and warplanes to sent also to the city immediately. Back to the battle, Kazumi and the members of the Vampire Squad continuously performing a counterattack against the light beams and also, against the attacks made by Emperor Ryuuen using his Hazard Scepter. Disgusted in their action, Emperor Ryuuen ultimately used his Hazard Scepter to perform his finishing attack, the Hazard Streak, in order to defeat them. In such an unexpected fate, he defeated the members of the Vampire Squad and suddenly disappeared. Nearby, other members of the Vampire Squad, such as Miyazono and Yamut, also saw this and headed on quickly. After he disappeared Yoshinori, Raijin and Nailea; Emperor Ryuuen started to eyeing on Kazumi as his next victim. As he used again his Hazard Streak to perform again his finishing attack against her and again, in an unexpected situation, the remaining members of the Vampire Squad were came in to protect her and suddenly disappeared afterwards.
Meanwhile, Anaira saw a huge ball of light streak from afar. Then she thought that something might happen to her comrades in their battle against the Chariots, especially Kazumi. In order to find out where the exact location of the ball of light, she hurriedly ran until she saw Kazumi frustrating in her idea to defeat Emperor Ryuuen. Then Emperor Ryuuen told Kazumi to give up, but she refused to. As of his disgust, he attempted to use again his Hazard Scepter in order to perform again his finishing attack to defeat and later disappear her suddenly. Unfortunately, his attack became ineffective when Anaira used her Infinity Gun Blade to block his finishing attack. Then she told him that she will never let her comrades die, as well as she will never let the entire Hirakawa City and its residents diminish in a sudden matter. Emperor Ryuuen, on the other hand, felt disgusted on her action, so he decided to attack Anaira using his Hazard Scepter. Anaira, using her Infinity Gun Blade to perform counterattacks, told him that she already defeated and killed his Chariot Fighters, as well as Chariot Monster Thrust, making him mad seriously. As she perform her finishing attack, the Armored Infinity Slash, she told him that he will be her next victim, and attacked him afterwards, causing him to suffer more damage. After the battle, Emperor Ryuuen told Anaira that he will never forgive her for killing his henchmen and left. After the battle, Kazumi told Anaira that she was okay, and Anaira said that they must head on to the next location to defeat the Chariots.
