Lamune and crew receive a note via carrier pigeon telling them that Charlotte(?) forest has a Guardian Knight. Cocoa points out that there's no record of such a thing in her ancient scrolls, but Lamune heads there anyway. Leska and Da Cider receive a note saying that Lamuness is there. Da Cider heads there to catch Lamuness off guard. Queen Cideron is still at Hoy-Hoy castle being infused with evil power by Harumage. Lamuness and company are walking through the forest when Milk, of course, gets a whiff of something edible and runs off to get something to eat. Little do they realize that they are being watched by a mysterious cloaked figure. Lamuness trips on a wire and is bombarded by hundreds of rocks, arrows, spikes, and nets. Finally he ends up in a pit with sharpened bamboo poles. He tries to escape but get poked in the rear. Finally. Milk ends up in front of a tree with huge delicious red apples. Milk takes one and bites it just as Lamuness makes his way out of the pit. Cocoa and Lamuness hear her scream and come running where they find her asleep surrounded by seven Milk-like dwarves. Somehow, Milk has become Snow White. Cocoa notices the red apple still in Milk's hand and consults the scroll. Eating the red apple will turn you into your favorite fairy tale character, and the only way to recover is to eat a green apple. Lamuness isn't too worried, but the story is complicated by the fact that on Hara-Hara World, the Snow White story has an added twist; Snow White turned to stone when the sun went down. Since it's late in the afternoon, Lamuness needs to get a green apple back to Milk before she completely turns to stone. The mysterious cloaked figure laughs maniacally as her plan seems to be unfolding to her favor.
Lamuness feels like he's being watched, but his concern is interrupted when a cute girl, a cowardly lion, a scarecrow, and a tin man show up. Apparently, Dorothy is another victim of the red apples. Lamuness offers to help Dorothy but he gets his ass kicked by the dwarves. Cocoa points out the huge tree in the distance where the green apples are and Lamuness runs as fast as he can in that direction while avoiding all sorts of traps. The cloaked girl looks on as Da Cider and Leska arrive in Coelacinth Mocha. Da Cider is barely able to say anything when Coelacinth Mocha is shot out of the sky and makes a very hard landing near the huge tree. The cloaked figure with bazooka in hand stands on top of the tree and savors her victory. She makes her way down to retrieve the unconscious bodies of Da Cider and Leska. Meanwhile, Milk is beginning to solidify. Lamuness makes his way to the tree and gets an apple, when the tree splits in half and reveals a huge battle arena. The cloaked girl appears and dramatically reveals herself. Lamuness has no idea who she is, and she begins reminding him that she is the mmost beautiful of Harumage's warriors, Beppin! Lamuness wasn't even listening, and he's too busy putting green apples in a bag to really care. This really pisses Beppin off, and she calls out a hairy Monskar with the still unconscious Da Cider and Leska at the controls. Beppin heads to her ship and takes off to watch the battle from afar. Lamuness calls out King Sccasher. Da Cider and Leska wake up and are greeted by an angry message from Beppin. The Monskar jumps on King Sccasher, and Da Cider learns that he can't actually control it. The Monskar reveals its weapon, which is to transform explosively, injuring both King Sccasher and the Monskar pilots. The Monskar isn't controllable, and keeps transforming and exploding. Beppin loves it as Da Cider and Leska are being abused at her whim. Lamuness uses a Saint Bomb to see if the Monskar is a Guardian Knight, which it isn,t, and it turns into a really ugly bug-like machine. It attacks, and Leska begs it to stop to no avail. Lamuness calls forth Kiriman and Buruman to fight the Monskar. Da Cider asks them for help as well, which seems to confuse the two Guardian Knights. Beppin makes the Monskar attack the two Guardian Knights, and King Sccasher is restrained by large vines from the tree. Buruman and Kiriman transform into the huge Bredon and attack the Monskar. Tama-Q points out that the sun is almost setting, and Milk is almost completely changed to stone. Lamuness gets angry and changes King Sccasher into Samu Lion and destroys the Monskar (which also destroys Beppin's ship) sending all three of Harumage's warriors flying into the sky. Lamuness arrives with the apples just in time. They feed Milk the apple, and she turns back to normal and wakes up, which makes the dwarves dissappear. Milk has no idea what happened, but Lamuness and Cocoa are relieved she is OK. Milk sees the apples and chases Lamuness so she can eat them. The battered and bruised Leska and Da Cider head off in their damaged airship, and everything is happy in Hara-Hara world.
