6 - To the Other Side of Emotions
More training for the Aquarion crews, this time in an attempt to improve their attack power through creative use of the imagination - once again in pairs, and once again with Silvia raging that her beloved Sirius has been paired with Reika instead of her. The aim: to hit your partner at a range of 100 meters, using nothing but your own aura, and a little lesson that a distance is only far if you think it is. When Sirius and Reika opt for some out-of-hours extra training, both Silvia and Apollo find themselves curious to find out exactly what's going on, although for very different reasons. But the appearance of a harvesting beast soon brings training to an end once more...
7 - Knight of the Crimson Rose
Assignment time: to write a report on the Power Stones the Aquarion pilots use, but without the use of the 'net. The base library has an old Greek book with just the information Silvia needs to complete the report - but Reika's got the book on special reserve for Sirius. Cue another bout of jealous-teenager-angst. Silvia's main problem, however, is that she keeps seeing "flashbacks" to her mythical forebears - she believes she and Sirius are their reincarnations, but if the legend repeats itself, she looks destined to be separated from her beloved big brother. Meanwhile, it seems Sirius has a bit more in common with the Atlandeans than he'd probably like to admit...
8 - The First Merge
One of only two members of the main Aquarion team who hasn't had a chance to pilot yet, Tsugumi's beginning to get more than a little curious about what it's like to be in the pilot's seat - especially after what she's heard about what it feels like (you've seen Silvia's face when Aquarion combines - you know what she means). Her curiosity is infectious, too, and so fellow piloting-virgin Jun's busy sounding out the guys about how they've found the experience. Let's just say the simulator doesn't give the whole orgasmic treatment. Eventually Tsugumi gets the call to pilot a live mission with Apollo and Jun - but she's hiding a secret that she's worried may prevent her from being able to perform well in battle...
9 - The Path to Dreams
The Shadow Angels seem to have come up with a new form of attack, as people the world over are falling asleep and not waking up - a form of coma, if you like, brought on by the power of dreams. At the Aquarion base, they're taking the phenomenon seriously, with the crews being brought to sleep in the same hall under medical supervision, but even that doesn't prevent the power of the Shadow Angels reaching them. Apollo's one of the few to waken after the first attack, and is smart enough (for once) to realise that if they're going to be attacked in their dreams, then they'll have to fight - and win - in their dreams as well. And the price for losing may well be eternal sleep...
