At the Kotobuki house, Tsumugi invited Ritsu to stay over so that they can accommodate them and to fix their appearance since they are to look presentable to the record company where "A" Vekusu is working, hoping that this would help them achieve their dreams of performing at the Bukodan, while Azusa and Mio are staying at Yui's house, and there the girls are going to prepare themselves for the audition as they are excited that they might become the record company's "new stars".
However, they are unaware that the syndicate's goons are watching them and are ready to have their plans executed come morning, and are making sure that they'll get there first before "A" Vekusu does, and they seem to have back-up plans ready.
"Okay…the boss says he'll have the record company's car stalled so that we can get to the five girls first, and we are to pretend that we're from the record company and make sure they don't suspect a thing. The boss is counting on us and we can't let him down…"
"Got it…but why do we have to take them to a forest-like area and not our hideout? One of the five girls is super rich and we could milk a lot of money from her family…why can't we…"
"Don't know…orders are orders…"

At the bedroom of the Kotobuki house, Tsumugi is getting ready for bed as Ritsu is flexing her hands as she pretends that she is performing her drums for the "big day", much to her classmate's bemusement, seeing that Ritsu is so excited and she could imagine Yui doing the same thing.
"I still can't believe that we're being scouted…looks like our dream is coming faster than we expected…I'm guessing Yui's excited and Mio nervous…Azusa seem to be calm about this, though this is because of her family's background as jazz musicians."
"Ah…once we impress those bigwigs…we'll be stars…we make money…make a name for ourselves…and we'll be at Bukodan before we know it…of course…we need to bring our tea sets every time we have a tour…we can't live without it…"
"Yes…yes…"
"Wonder how the others are doing…?"
- - -
Ritsu's thoughts are answered, as Mio was shaking nervously while Azusa was calming her down while Yui was playing her guitar non-stop, too excited that she get to perform at the record company with the After School Tea time, even though Ui can hear them from the other room, and she can understand their anxiety, as this was a big and important event for them as this could be their chance to achieve their dreams.
"Yui-nee-chan…I'm happy for you and your friends…Azusa-san…you're dreams to make it big is just within your grasp…I hope you and the others make it big come tomorrow…good luck and may Kami-Sama be with you…"
As Ui "signed off", Yui was still as lively with no signs of being "battery low" as she kept on playing with her guitar, much to Azusa's bewilderment seeing her very hyper as opposed to Mio who is worried about tomorrow's outcome, which made her wonder what tomorrow hold out for them what would the After School Tea Time do if they got accepted and became the record company's newest talents.
"Mio-sempai is really nervous about this…and I wonder what song should we sing should we be presented to the panelists…and Yui-sempai seemed to be looking forward to the audition tomorrow…maybe it's natural…when my parents encouraged me to try jazz music with my guitar, I wasn't quite nervous and I got some positive feedback…so I guess it should be fine…"
"Yee-hah!!!!! Bukodan here we come! The new faces of the record company! The After School Tea Time invades Japanese Hollywood! We'll make millions! Record sales! Unlimited albums! TV drama! Anime! Tokusatsu!"
"Uh…Tokusatsu???"
"That's right, Azusa-nyan…we might make theme songs for Tokusatsu songs! Ultra Man! Super Sentai! Even Kamen Rider! Many recording artists lent their songs to do theme songs, like Rika Matsumoto for Pokemon and Kamen Rider Ryuki…Nanase Aikawa for Samurai 7 and Kamen Rider Blade…Da Pump for Dear Boys…who knows..we might be lucky…"
"But…Yui-sempai…we don't even know if we ever get accepted…"
"Think positive…and your dreams might come through…"
Mio was inspired by Yui's words and she stopped acting nervously, remembering the talk she and the others had at the training capm which all wished to make it big by performing at the Bukodan, and so she settled to her bed and went to sleep, with Azusa and Yui going to bed as well, all excited to get ready for tomorrow's tryout.

By morning, about 8 am, a limousine came and a chauffeur came out to greet Tsumugi and Ritsu, as they are dressed formally (music-style) to the occasion and hopped in, carrying their bags and are looking forward to today's audition. Then the limousine left soon after, with Tsumugi's parents looking at the car leaving, happy that their daughter's dream is about to be granted.
Inside the limousine, Tsumugi and Ritsu are excited at the prospect of meeting with the record company but then the leader of the band noticed that their route is veering away from the city and is heading for Shuzenji, which is in Shizuoka, and tried to get the driver's attention but realized that a window was placed in front of them. Then Tsumugi sensed that something is wrong and tried to open the doors but it won't as they are locked.
Ritsu: "Hey! We're going the wrong way! We're heading for Shizuoka! We're supposed to go to Tokyo!"
Tsumugi: "Ritsu-chan…the doors are locked!"
Ritsu: "WHAT???!!!!"
Then gas-like smoke filled the backseat area and the two girls started coughing, and Ritsu managed to cover her nose and mouth with her handkerchief but within minutes she gave in and the two girls were knocked out, which is due to the gas being sleeping gas. The limousine then went to Shuzenji as scheduled, with the others unaware of this.

Likewise, the sane happened to Yui and the rest. At the same time, a limousine came to pick up Yui, Azusa and Mio and the trio boarded the car and left, all were excited to look forward to the audition to the record company who wanted to see the After Tea time perform, and if impressed, will make the an a famous ban to be added to the list of the elite. Mio was glancing at the car window, still a bit nervous having to perform in front of such important people, wondering if Ritsu and Tsumugi are either excited or nervous.
After some five minutes, Ui was about to go back inside her house when another limousine came and out came "A" Vekusu, and asked if Yui are still there, which surprised her and worry began to take over her whole self, sensing that something is wrong.
"Eh??? If you're the ones who are here to pick up my sister and her friends…then who is the one who picked them minutes ago??? Please tell me what's going on??? Is my sister and the band in danger??? Please tell me!!!! I don't want anything to happen to them! I don't want their dreams ruined by some kidnappers!"
It turn out that the hired goons from the crime syndicate orchestrated a traffic jam to delay Vekusu from reaching the After School Tea Time so that they can get there first and pretend to be the record company's pick-up services so that they can easily fetch the girls and take them away without delay, and now that they have all five of them, they are instructed to take them to the meeting place, which are two locations where they are to be "sacrificed" to the waiting Makamou.
"Blast! I knew something is wrong…the traffic jam that delayed us was indeed a ruse…You…call the cops! I'll try to reach the girls! Ms. Hirazawa…did you get their plate number? Please tell me so we might track them down…"
"Okay…I think I memorized it…"

Meanwhile, as Yui's group are flexing themselves, Yui and Azusa were busy talking about what to expect when Mio notices that they are veering away from Japan, and she calmly noticed that this isn't the way to the recording studio, and glanced around, seeing that something isn't right, realizing that this isn't a shortcut route, and her cellphone rang, which she answered it. The next scene brought tension to her and the others, which made itself apparent that they're in the ride towards danger.
"Ms. Akiyama! This is Vekusu! You girls have been duped! The limousine that you're riding isn't from us! You and your friends are being kidnapped! I tried to call Ms. Tanaika and Kotobuki but they haven't answered! You've got to get out of there now!"
"What???!!! Seriously???!!!! If so…who are these guys who picked us up???!!!!"
Yui and Azusa heard this and glanced around ad realized that they are now at the border of Utsunomiya, and they tried to tell the driver about this but realized that a glass panel is there which separate the front set and the backseat. The trio realized this and tried to get out, only to realize that the doors and the windows are locked tight. Thinking fast, Mio told them their location until gas shoots out and slowly covered the backseat area.
"We're passing by the Utsonomiya area…I think we're heading to the eastern…huh??? Koff! Koff! Help…!"
The line went still as the voice died down and Vekusu realized that the kidnappers are on to them and might have sedated them and he called the police, which the police from Tokyo have relayed the message to the police from Utsonomiya and the police from that area responded and began the hunt. Soon the message spread to other nearby police force around the Utsunomiya border in the hopes of intercepting the limousine carrying Yui and the others.
However, the limousine that carried Yui and the others changed its plate number so they won't be tracked this they easily eluded the police cars that passed by them and now there's no stopping them from carrying out the diabolical plot to sacrifice the innocent members of the After School Tea Time. The limousine then heads off to Minamiazu, which is located at the prefecture of Fukushima.

Meanwhile, at a roadside at Mt. Bandai, a car is parked where two people are standing beside it as they are awaiting some news. Then their car's radio flashed and received a distress call which they became aware of. There they learned that five teenage high school girls are being abducted and are heading to parts unknown, and at the same time several color-themed birds came and immediately changed into compact discs which they played them and learned something urgent. The two people are Iori Izumi (aged 21) and Akira Amami (aged 15), members of a secret organization called "Takeshi".
"Izumi-sempai…my disc animal states that there's a Makamou spotted within a forest area of Minamiazu…at the Fukushima prefecture! I think that's where the limousine is heading to!"
"Mine stated that another Mamakou is spotted at a forest in Shuzenji…at the Shizuoka prefecture."
"What should we do?"
"Tell Todoroki and Zanki to head for Shizuoka. You call Hitoshi Hidaka and tell him the situation. We're heading for Fukushima. The girls are going to need the help of Ibuki and Hibiki."
With that, they boarded their car, a HONDA Shadow 750, and head off for Fukushima as they followed their disc animals to lead them to the Makamou, deducing that the kidnapped girls are to be used as sacrifices.

Elsewhere, at a forest near Mt. Zao, a 30-year old man was there holding a pair of huge drumsticks, called taiko, and is practicing at a tree beating a huge drum, which he dos that as part of his training, and he's been at it for an hour when a disc animal came and changed into a compact disc and he played it, where the message is being relayed. Seeing that is is another rescue mission, he put on his upper clothes and head off to Fukushima.
"Oh boy…another job of an Oni…but now the Makamou are sacrificing high school girls…looks like it's Hibiki to the rescue…unless Ibuki and Akira get there first…"
