Jiro, Ichiro, Reiko, and Akida are once again being chased by machines sent to capture Akida. They are saved by another Kikaider. This Kikaider is Jiro and Ichiro's younger brother, known as 00 or Rei. As they continue to run, now with Rei by their side, Reiko remembers the place as somewhere she's been before. She tell the three Kikaider brothers that she's been here before and they head down there to check it out. As soon as they got down there, a barrier surrounds the Kikaiders, paralyzing them. Gill then shows up and tells Reiko that she is actually a android created to protect Akida and he was the one that put the memories into her head. Reiko refuses to believe Gill until he makes her transform. As Gill gets ready to kill her, Beijinder transforms into her robotic form and grabs Akida and Reiko. She then breaks the barrier surrounding the Kikaiders and flies off with Akida and Reiko. As the Kikaiders fight more machines, Beijinder and Reiko are flying through the forest. AS Beijinder takes the lead, Reiko drops the 'Pinnochio' book she got from Jiro earlier and heads back with Akida to find it. As she spots the book, she puts Akida down and goes to retrieve it. As soon as the book was in her hand, Gill shows up and shoots her. Akida watches in horror as Reiko falls to the ground. When the Kikaiders show up, they find Reiko's bleeding head and from out of the bushes, a sad looking Beijinder also discovers what's left of Reiko as well.

The Fate Of Pinocchio

Ichiro, Jiro, Rei, and Beijinder discover that all four of them, as well as Reiko, are siblings. They are androids created from the same design by Dr. Komyoji. Together, they decide that they should go save Akida and prevent Gill from destroying the world. They head into Tokyo to find a humongous robot built by Gill, called the Armagedon Lord, destroying it. They try and fight the robot but failed miserably. Ichiro, Rei, and Beijinder are captured, leaving Jiro by himself. Jiro finds his way into the robot and find Akida in it's heart. Rei and Ichiro appears and beats Jiro up. Jiro is puzzled at why his brothers are attacking him when he suddenly goes unconscious. When Jiro wakes up, he finds himself in a machine. Gill then comes into the chamber and explains to Jiro that he had installed a submission circuit into each of them (Ichiro, Rei, Beijinder, and himself). Gill then calls Beijinder into the room and turns the submission circuit in Jiro, on. Gill then orders Beijinder to look after Jiro while he destroys the country's capital. Jiro tricks Beijinder into letting him go. Beijinder believes him and he heads out to find Akida only to discover that he's not there. Jiro's next target is Gill. He seeks out Gill and when Gill summons Ichiro and Rei to destroy Jiro, Jiro destroys them both. Gill is shocked at Jiro's behavior. Jiro then explains to Gill that it's the submission circuit that allowing him to lie, destroy his own brothers, and it's going to let him kill a human. He takes Gill by the head and squishes his brain. He says from that day foward, he shall at last become fully human and he really does.
