Episode 7: Shoot Down the Enemy Out of the Sky [Fen Feiring and Ukkeiya introduced] [Long summary] Kaoru and Ruriko volunteer to go on a mission to an airport, thinking they'll be stewardesses, when in fact they'd be polishing shoes. Shun, meanwhile, has to meet up with another gate keeper of another A.E.G.I.S. branch, but Ochiai gives him an empty file by accident so he hasn't a clue on how to find the gate keeper. He mistakes a monkey for the gate keeper he has to meet, but the girl who was searching for the animal (calling him by a name similar to Shun's, "Ukkeiya") turns out to be the actual gate keeper. A kid Ruriko and Kaoru meet while polishing shoes gives them a hot tip about a plane that turns out to be invaders, and though they try to stop it from taking off, they can't. Luckily, Shun and his contact, Fen Feiring, arrive on time to defeat the invaders. |

Her only rival is Ruriko, who she's determined to be better than.

Megumi is frightened by his transformation, but she's still very angry that it's Ruriko, yet again, there to save the day.

Episode 9: Break the Pitch Dark Gate [Raido Kageyama introduced] [Long summary] A new guy's in town, and he's one heck of a pathetic fighter. Kageyama, the new guy, is perfect in practically everything else, though, like academics, sports and girls. While Shun struggles with an internal conflict about invaders also being partly human, Kageyama has a "heart-to-heart" talk with him that stirs Shun up. When the real time for battle comes, Shun still hesitates in attacking them, and only manages to defeat the invaders with the help of his fellow gatekeepers. One enemy is still left, however, and he happens to be a gatekeeper like them... a black gatekeeper... |

that Bullet Train! [General Machine introduced] [Long Summary] Shun finally gets to have a break with his family, and they decide to take a ride on a bullet train. They have bad timing though, because it's taken over by another new invader foe, General Machine.

However, things get a little complicated when Shun is taken 'hostage' by General Machine himself. |

Gatekeepers does not belong to me, it belongs to Gonzo, AXN and all those other great people who brought the anime series to life (who I'm not in *any* way associated with). No infringement was intended, believe me. |
