## Plot

We start with episode with Kaito fighting somebody. Suddenly, a strange power drags some people out of the way. Kaito knows who is behind this and goes to Axel. Axel tells Kaito that they need to talk but Kaito claims that they're busy. Axel defeats the people with his power so that Kaito can talk; his plan does indeed work, as they go outside to talk. Once they're outside, Axel tells Kaito that he needs them to come back but Kaito admits that, even though they can do that, they won't be able to help. Axel asks why.

Back in the Guardian House, Mizuki can't sleep. Mizuki calls for her sister but she is sleeping so she gets out of bed. She goes into the living room and finds Yumeka watching TV. Mizuki asks Yumeka what she's doing in the living room and Yumeka tells her that that is where she sleeps. Yuki joins the two girls, not being able to sleep either. Mizuki then asks Yuki if she can go out to practice her power, Yuki tells her to go to the balcony. Mizuki doesn't know what a balcony is so she heads outside.

Outside, Mizuki practices her power. She tries to make the sky turn brighter -- and it works. Kaito notices that and tells Mizuki that they think she is really powerful and that they wouldn't want to have such power. Axel introduces Kaito to Mizuki, he tells her that they're the ninth Guardian. In the end, they decide to go back in. They will discuss everything in the morning.

Once it's morning, they have a little meeting where Kaito tells the others that they can't stay because they lost their powers. Kaito leaves and Axel feels betrayed; Kaito promised him that they would stay anyway. Miyu comes up with a plan to bother Kaito so that they can maybe make them stay. Axel agrees with the plan. And so, it begins:

* Miyuki goes up to Kaito and shouts that they are watching Disney Channel, and that they should stay with them. Kaito gets annoyed and leaves. The first plan fails.
* Kaito is eating in the park, Alex tells them that they will cook anything for them, if they go back with them, but Kaito declines. The second plan fails.
* Kaito is walking in the park, when Miyu approaches them, and tells them to look at the bird flying. Miyu makes the bird give a flower to Kaito. It seems like this plan is succeeding but Miyu ruins it by shouting that Kaito should stay with them. Kaito leaves and the third plan fails.
* Ayaka talks with Kaito and she says how she can control plants, and how they should go back with the Guardians. Kaito has already made their choice but Ayaka tells them to think about it again. There is nothing to do, so the fourth plan fails.
* Kaito is going to steal a gem but, suddenly, Yuki comes and steals the gem, instead. Kaito says to give it back and Yuki proposes that, if she gives the gem to them, they should go back with the Guardians. Kaito says they will never do that and Yuki leaves with the gem. The fifth plan fails.
* Kaito is enjoying their night. Mizuki arrives and claims that the stars are beautiful; Kaito asks her to leave as they are scared of her power. The sixth plan fails.
* Lastly, Kaito is at the beach and tries to practice their power. Axel sits beside them; Kaito tells them that they can't join because they are scared and because they think they'd be useless. Axel tells them that they will protect them, if they go back. Kaito thinks about it and it seems like it is going to be a success. However, Kaito declines Axel's offer and leaves. Axel is sad about this. The seventh plan fails.

The Guardians don't know what to do now and Miyuki asks why Yumeka can't do this. Yuki tries to come up with a good reason but, as she can't, Axel lets Yumeka come up with her own plan. Yumeka goes into Kaito's head and she makes them experience a high pitched noise, while saying that she knows they are lying. Kaito tells her that they will join if she makes that stop. Back to reality, Kaito wakes up. No one seems happy about this success, however. In the end, they found out that Kaito still has their powers and they lied because they were scared. Axel tells Kaito that they can leave if they want, Kaito says that they will think about it. After Kaito leaves, Yumeka takes off her mask and Mizuki points out that she's bleeding; Yumeka says that it is because she entered their unconscious mind. Axel asks if Kaito really has their power and Yumeka tells him that it's hard to explain.
