Yuuchi Gai is a gambler and a card shark. Winning a game with a young woman, he gives her money back and invites her to his place. As they are leaving, a bouncer accosts Gai, accusing him of cheating (and probably he was). Gai punches the man who goes flying down the alley. The shocked young man runs off into the night.
Hayasaka Ako is walking past the athletics team when she stops to stare at the high jump. Following an urge she doesn't really understand, she gives her friends her briefcase and runs to take a flying leap over the high jump. The coach is ecstatic and begs her to compete in the meet after school that day. The girl is willing... for money. Kaori and Lyta arrive in her family car just after the meet, and talk Ako into going off with them. Kaori explains about the Jetman and Ako's new powers. The girl finds it astonishing, but hints strongly that she'll do it for money (she's rather a greedy teenager). Kaori writes her out a hefty check. As Ako is gaping at her ship come in, Kaori puts the bracelets on her. It is at this moment the Vyram's faceless minions attack.
Gai is playing saxaphone at his day-job, his thoughts dwelling upon the events of the night before. While he's distracted, he accidently crushes his sax. Then a hand falls onto his shoulder. "We have to talk," the stranger, Ryu, says.
Having explained the situation to him, they find he wants no part of it. This doesn't involve him, he has better things to do. While Chokan watches in exasperation, the two men get in a fist-fight, smashing up the garage, car windows as they generally try to beat each other. Just then the communicator warbles with Kaori and Lyta's distress call. Ryu and Chokan race off to help. Gai scrambles to his feet. "Hey! I'm not finished with you yet!" and pursues them on his motorcycle. Without realizing it, he is able to follow them because of the Jetman link. But he is captured by the Jet-monster, which carries him into the air. Under Ryu's attack it drops him, and Ryu is able to get him the bracelet so he changes and flys.
Lyta and Kaori change into costume. Ako wants to follow suit but doesn't know which bracelet to use. "The RIGHT one!" Kaori tells her. The five together fight. Ryu is able to destroy the jet-monster by setting fire to oil leaking from a damaged hose on the thing. Gai is forced to help defeat the insect monster, which is destroyed by their combined firepower.
Ako returns Kaori's check to her. She will be receiving a government paycheck anyway, and now she really wants to be a Jetman. Gai punches Ryu in the gut and tosses the bracelets back to him saying he's not a freak like them. He rides away on his motorcycle. Ryu knows they have to have him with them. Throwing away the bracelets won't change what he now is.
