kaiju: Uchuramangura
In the Camerotta control dome, NOVA Commander Itsua Den is receiving a transmission from Earth. The Head of ELC is explaining that the sudden planetary ring around Earth now prevents oirbital flights and will make supply trips to the Moon impossible. A large shuttle was scheduled to launch but has now been indefinitely delayed. Pilots Sasura, Gadura and Kaira enter the room just in time to overhear the transmission. The Moon may be doomed after all.
On Earth, a shuttle pilot by the name of Rei Haro shouts at the technicians working on the launchpad. He insists that the launch will continue as planned. Haro dons his spacesuit and boards the shuttle, despite protests. ELC breaks into his communications and orders him to leave the ship. Haro uses manual override to take off anyway!
When Itsua Den finds out that it is Rei Haro behind the rebllious launch, the NOVA Commander smiles. The two have a history. He orders his three pilots to fly back out to ring and perform analysis. Maybe they can clear a path for the shuttle. Sowza enters the dome, excited to talk about the Space Tomb and Ultraman Scorpio, but the commander waves her away.
The three pilots are flying around the planetary ring and begin blasting away at the rocks. Their ships are attacked by strange, polyp-like organisms that had been hiding throughout the ring, clinging to the rocks. The creatures start covering the ships and causing malfunctions. Meanwhile, the large supply shuttle from Earth is climbing out of orbit. Rei Haro is determined to break through, but it looks impossible.
Haro remembers his a moment early in his training, when he and Itsua Den were hiking in a very dangerous area. There was an avalanche and Haro had fallen into a cave, sealed by rock. Den struggled to break through from the outside and rescue his comrade and Haro struggled from the inside. Only by working together, they managed to open the cave and Haro was free.
In Camerotta, Sowza is suddenly aware of Scorpio's presence. She runs to a window and sees the Space Tomb rising. The great doors open and Scorpio blasts off again!
The supply shuttle enters the planetary field and is hammered by chunks of rock. Haro's life-support system is damaged. Meanwhile, the three LunaJumpers (covered with polyps) drift helplessly into the belt also.
Scorpio arrives and uses his Stinger Storm to blow up hundreds of rocks, clearing a path for the shuttle. The polyps react by freeing themselves from the LunaJumpers and combining into one gigantic monster. Uchuramangura immediately attacks Scorpio and they fight deep withijn the field.
Uchuramangura is somewhat agile as it jumps from rock to rock, using its Mangura Beams to blast Scorpio, but the Ultra-Hero uses the drifitng debris as cover and manages to wear the creature down with surpise attacks. Eventually, he finishes the monster off with the Space Arrow Attack.
The supply shuttle is now free, but Haro is fading fast. Itsua Den arrives in a LunaJumper and docks with the shuttle. He comes on board and rescues his old friend. Ultraman Scorpio flies back towards the Moon, overtaking the two friends.
