The heartbeat is a signal, to the other artifact. Akashi tracks the location on the table that turns into a map.

Akashi tells Sakura to send out a signal shot when they find Yellow, to also alert the enemy. Natsuki is by a waterfall, drinking water. Sakura asks how much they know about Natsumi. Shouta mentions that Masumi says he doesn't know much of her either. Shouta looks through his Scope Shot. Sakura sees a waterfall and jumps in. Shouta can't believe it but follows suit. They rise up from the water. Masumi swings on a tree, along with Akashi. Akashi helps him. Masumi explains that two years ago a tnight, he stumbled upon an abadonned military fort to find Natsumi under debri. He tries waking her up. Sakura continues the story with Shouta, saying Natsuki had no memory. She wonders if she was lying. Masumi struggles for breath as he and Akashi walk up a hill. Sakura and Masumi notice Natsuki talking to a Jaryuu. He throws his sword at them. They bat it away and he scampers off. Shouta shoots off the warning signal from his Scope Shot. Sakura drops down with her Scope Shot as a parachute and threatens Natsuki with the Ryuujin's sword. She asks her what she was up to. The Jaryuu returns to Ryuuwon, reporting the Boukenger didn't die. Gaja says his assistance is needed and puts his hand ona rock and chants and Karths arise. Akashi notes the warning shot. Masumi pulls out a knife from his Scope Shot and looks like he is about to strike Askashi but hits a salamander. He says Akashi owes his lfie. Akashi flips a coin and hits another, saying they are even. Sakura demands answers. Natsuki shows them her bracelet, saying she had it on her when Masumi found her and she was showing it to the Jaryuu. Natsuki thought a 'Negative' would be able to tell her what it is. Sakura drops the sword. Natsuki says she doesn't even know her own real name. Sakura figures out Natsuki joined to find herself. Masumi and Akashi arrive. Natsuki gives Masumi her Accelluar, saying there are things more precious than Precious and they are better off without her. Akashi tells them they have different reasons they join, to find that something they treasure. Natsuki smiles and asks if she can stay. They all nod and tell her she will always be one of them. The salamanders, the Gordom and Jaryuu surround them. Gaja and Ryuwon arrive at the site of a former temple. Gaja places his hand on the ground and chants. Molten lava surround Ryuwon and encase him in rock. Gaja turns another stone and another little shrine rises. The Salamanders jump up and the Boukenger transform. The Salamanders melt away. The Boukenger present themselves. The grunts attack and the Boukenger fight them off. Shouta flies up and fights Karths with his Blow Knuckle. Natsuki breaks the Karths in rock pieces with her Bucket Scoopers. Ryuujinhei attack Akashi with fire. He finishes Karth off with a fire attack and finishes the two of the Ryuujinhei off with his Red Zone Crash attack. As if finishes the last Jaryuu, the others finish the rest of the Karths. Gaja nears the Gordom Brain and Ryuuwon breaks through the rock. Gaja calls his sword and fights Ryuuwon. Ryuuwon slahes Gaja and he scampers off in pain. Ryuuwon nears the Precious, when he is attacked by Akashi. Akashi questions Ryuuwon's use of sparing his own kind's lives. They fight. Akashi says he values the lives of his friends and that is the source of his power. He slashes Ryuuwon and falls down the clift. Gaja sees Ryuuwon fall down the clift and says the Gordom will not die off that easily. Shouta detects the Brain having a Hazard Level of 130, meaning it is a definitely Precious.
