History
Makeena was an alien monster who called to Earth by Saki, an alien girl who had lived on Earth as far back as the year, 1802 A.D. (and whom Daigo had met as a child before become Tiga.) When a capsule was dug up in a construction site, Saki played a special flute that caused the capsule to emit a beam of light beyond Earth's atmosphere. Receiving the signal, Makeena landed in Tokyo Harbor and began her trek to reunite with Saki. Makeena was met by opposition from GUTS, but her armor was more than enough to protect the monster from their assults. However the sun was setting as so Makeena decided to recuperate until tomorrow.

Makeena awoken the next morning and again was met with GUTS's assults via land mines that fired at her unprotected areas beneath her armor. During the assult, Saki was able to reunite with Makeena. However just as a land mine was about to endanger Saki, Daigo transformed into Ultraman Tiga and quickly rescued her from danger. Taking Tiga's actions as a threat towards Saki, Makeena attacked Tiga and both Alien and Ultra battled. Tiga was able to overpower Makeena once he transformed into Power Mode, but just as he was about to finish off the alien with the Delacium Light Stream, Saki stepped in and explained that Makeena only came to Earth retreive her and that she had been waiting on Earth for hundreds of years waiting for her arrival. Now understanding of the situation, Tiga allowed Makeena to Saki and together both aliens left Earth peacefully.
