In yet another alternate world, we meet our main character, Taiga, who is a headstrong and wreckless Defense Force pilot. Though annoyed and reluctant, he makes the journey as requested. The scene switches to an alternate universe where we are introduced to Ultraman Zero who receives a mysterious request to travel to Earth. The raid is interrupted by a kaiju (giant monster) attack, but this attack is thwarted by Ultraman Dyna. A lively crew of Earth Defense Force (EDF) girls called Team U, man three transformable vehicles and make a raid on a local supermarket for supplies. It turns out that Earth is a victim of the evil Alien Bat. A transmission goes out searching for any other living beings on the planet to no response.
