She grabs it and starts off. off. He stops her and demands to know who she is. She says since it is Christmas Eve, to call her Eve. He asks where she fell from and if she is a thief. She spins around and asks if he can't tell by her outfit, that she is Santa Claus. He says Santa is old man with a beard. She rushes off, saying it is the busiest night for 'us.' He shrugs it off and then notices the cake is all squished. Everyone is dissappointed, especially Natsuki. Akashi tried to buy another but it was the last. Eiji and Masumi call Akashi's account of a 'mini-skirted Santa Claus' a poor excuse. They don't believe she exists. He says she is busy delivering presents in children. Eiji is shocked that Akashi believes she ruly is Santa. Akashi shrugs it off... but can't help wonder. Eve relishes in her job 	 	being done. She then hears a child's cry, she skips over magically to his house. he asks for a robot. She pouts that she only has two... a doll and a strange clay sculpture. She thinks about and says it should be fine as long as she has the pendent. The boy wakes to find the strange thing in his stocking. He calls it lame. Eve wakes up on a bench and hears another child... Gaja wanting a Christmas present. She grabs her 	 	bag, saying she only gives presents to children. He wants the Precious she has. In SGS, Morio comes in a new Christmas Cake for the gang. Natsuki is about to dig in when Mr. Voice interupting with news that Gaja has appeared. Akashi and Sakura grab Natsuki as she laments not having her cake. Masumi quickly nips a strawberry off the cake and exits. Eve is being chased by Kraths. They surround her. She shouts 	 	for help. The Boukenger arrive. Akashi identifies her. Shouta says she is cute. The six transform and fight the Kraths. She serves as their cheerleader. The Kraths corner her and Red saves her. He holds a Karth back and she runs off. He tells the others to take care of the Karths while he will 'secure' her. She stops to rest by the river, thinking she is safe but Gaja snatches her bag. He thinks the 'Golem' is inside. He 	 	demands her pendent, she says no but he snatches it from her. Red arrives, asking what he is up to. He says he got a Precious and teleports away. Akashi, un-trasnforms and tends to Eve.She gets up and asks who he is. He gets up and says, "Akashi Satoru. Bouken Red." She decides to call him 'Satorin' and says the Golem is safe. He doesn't like it but quickly resolves. He says if she has a Precious, she really must be Santa. She is flustered and calls him an idiot. The Boukenger nuetralize the Kraths and then un-transform. Natsuki wonders what Gaja is up to, Masumi thinks if they find Akashi and the girl, they might find out. Sakura says to return to SGS and wait for Red to call. Akashi questions Eve about the Golem, the symbol pendent controls the Golem, if they aren't together, it is just a clay doll. Akashi is shocked to find out she gave the Golem to a boy. He scolds her. She starts crying after he says she doesn't think about the kid's safety. Gaja, in his hideout, thinks back to the Questers being defeated. He laments their defeat and feign crying. He then laughs and says they were just foolish and they could never take over the world. He opens the bag and thinks the girl doll is the Golem. Akashi gives Eve half of his food. He asks for her to take him to the little boy's home to retrieve the Golem before Gaja does. She smiles and says she doesn't remember. He is shocked. She almost cries, thinking he is 	 	angry. He shakes it off and calmly asks to show him the area around the boy. She takes him there and they find the house. It is empty and Akashi thinks he might be showing off his new toy at the nearby park. Like a fickle child, she is not paying attention and asks for somehting to drink. This irks Akashi. She is about to cry again, so he pretends not to be angry. At SGS, Natsuki enjoys her cake finally. Shouta admits he is jealous Akashi is with the 'cute Santa.' Sakura wonders if it is okay to leave those two alone. Eiji asks if it bothers her. She denies it. Morio finds the Golem. They all gather around him. In the sixteenth century, Santa Claus gave the Bohemia kingdom a huge soldier called Golem. It went out of control and destroy the country. Using the symbol, Gaja chants and it glows. But the doll does not react. He says it should resonate and wonders where the real Golem is. The boy with the Golem is indeed with boys at the park showing off their Christmas Presents. He calls his gift lame. He drops it and its eyes glow. It becomes alive and jumps on the toy car nearby. They leave. Eve is enjoying her drink when they notice Golem running by. Eve freaks out. Sakura passes up and down in SGS worried about Akashi. He contacts them telling them it is active. They are shocked. Gaja uses the pendent as a tracking device and meets up with the Golem. He chants and the pendent floats up and attaches itself to the Golem and it becomes adult-size. Akashi and Eve arrive. Golem destroys a building. Akashi transforms and Golem is sicked by Gaja toward Red. Golem beats Red up, onto a Christmas tree. Red asks for Zuban's help. Zuban fights Golem. The other Boukenger arrive. Golem turns Zuban back into a sword. The Boukenger use the Dual Crasher and turn Golem to stone. Gajatells the Golem to show him the great power that destroyed a country. Just then, it busts out of the stone and grows giant. It then decimates the whole city. He stomps through and stomps a Christmas tree. Eve starts crying, blaming herself. She calls herself a failure Santa. Red gets her to retain her composure and she explains the characters on the control plate (Shiem) means truth in Hebrew, and if they erase one 	 	of the characters, it will mean death, which could defeat Golem. They form DaiVoyager and SirenBuilder and fight Golem. He beats them up. They try holding him but he brings them both down. Golem tosses SirenBuilder on top of Dai Voyager. Golem then proceeds to zap the two robots as Eve watches. She is sure he can save the day. SirenBuilder distracts 	 	Golem and holds him. They say Golem is not good at close range attacks. Red calls for Shovel and Drill and forms DaiVoyager Drill and Shovel. SirenBuilder gets off and they slash Golem. The drill then breaks off one character. This successfully destroys Golem once and for all. They all celebrate. Eve walks off. Gaja is pissed at yet another defeat. He says they know all about the human-created Precious, but it looks like to him that the great power of Gordom is needed. The Boukenger wonder where Eve went. Akashi holds the broken pendent. Eiji congrats Akashi on a cute Santa. Akashi says just for a bit. he gets up and walks from them. Sakura is sure Eve went back to Santa 	 	Claus' island. Natsuki says it would have been nice to get a present from Santa. It then commences to snow. Natsuki points out to them Eve riding on a sleigh with reindeer. She thanks them for protecting Christmas. Eve proposes going on antoher date on next year's Christmas. She forms the words as she leaves. Akashi says, "See you next year!" He then says to not mess it up again. Sakura interogates Akashi, "Again? So then todays was a date too? You dodged your 	 	mission to go on a date with the mini-skirt Santa?" Akashi denies it. Eiji teases him. Shouta offers him date lessons. Sakura presses him for an answer but all he says is "Merry Christmas." He runs off and she chases him.
