10 - Stars in the Sky, Flowers in the Ground
Toma's lack of success in dealing with the Solar Wing is drawing a certain amount of disapproval amongst the Atlandeans, and so another of their number is given the tools to do the job, and it's not long before the Aquarion sees action against the new boy. But there's a problem - shortly before the Aquarion was scrambled, Apollo and Sirius had been involved in a little fencing skirmish, which Apollo won by resorting to unfair methods. Silvia was more than a little annoyed at him for that - and now she's one of his partners on the latest call-out, there's just a little bit of friction between them that's getting in the way of doing their job. Can they win without teamwork? Simple answer: no, and that's a lesson that's hard for certain people to learn...

11 - Happiness is at the Bottom of a Lake
Reika's bad fortune seems to be at work again, with Glen, her former partner and one of the Aquarion's original crew, still in a deep coma. And the weather's lousy, too. The end result is a deep depression for Reika, which the Commander sees as a problem - she can hardly perform at her best when worried that everything she does will somehow lead to misfortune. Her luck doesn't seem to be getting any better, either, so she eventually decides to leave the Aquarion base, hopefully taking her bad luck with her. As luck would have it, her train encounters a strange phenomenon - one that's already taken a number of children, and now Reika could be the next victim...

12 - The Time of Amber
An underwater archaeological site produces an unusual find - a single feather, sealed in amber and dated to have been from around 12,000 years ago. That's unusual in itself, as amber shouldn't be able to properly form in that short a time - so perhaps it's something from the time of the Winged Angels? Commander Fudo's orders for nobody to touch the feather only succeed in piquing Apollo's curiosity, so along with Silvia he breaks into the vault - and together they discover the past. Meanwhile, Toma makes plans for retrieving the feather - and he's not planning to play fair...

13 - A 12,000-Year-Old Love Letter
Apollo comes face-to-face with Toma, who would quite like to have a word with him about events 12,000 years ago. While Apollo's only just been introduced to his past, Toma remembers it in vivid detail and relates some of the details - by way of introduction before beginning the task of killing him. Facing defeat, Aquarion retreats back within the barrier shield, but when Apollo realises that Toma has Baron with him, the temptation to rescue his friend is too much to bear. But saving Baron may just bring greater disaster on the Aquarion base...
