Plot[]
While playing with some children, Momoko notices a boy watching them. She invites him to join them, but after a while he runs off, exhibiting great strength in their game. Tooru suspects him for being an alien, and the child knocks them down with willpower. He runs off, but Tooru chases after him.
MAC gets wind of the situation, and Dan and Gen head to the scene. They soon catch up to Tooru, and Gen goes to check on the others while Dan chases after the boy. The child runs to a woman he calls "mother," and Dan stops because he recognizes her as Anne, his love interest from his earlier series.
Dan finds himself in a field. He asks the woman if she is Anne, and she shakes her head. Her and the boy run off, and Dan finds himself back in the street, alone.
Dan goes to meet the woman, but she tells him she is not Anne. He then gets a call, saying that the boy is causing more trouble in town. He gets there in time to stop Gen and the others from firing, telling them the boy is the son of one of his friends. Dan confronts the child and tells him to stop his pranks. The two have a physic battle. Just as Dan crumples, Gen fires at the boy, but his captain jumps in the way.
Gen and the lady rush over to him. The woman explains she adapted him and that he is an alien orphan, who is a troublemaker. She is knocked out, and the boy transforms into his monster form, Uringa. Gen transforms as well. Leo is nearly useless against the alien's psychokinetic attacks until he realizes he needs to strike his blows while the alien charges up his assaults. Leo manages to shrink the alien because he knows that Ury was merely lashing out in boredom.
The child runs to the woman, who puts a napkin on Dan's wound. Dan awakens as the two walk off, and watches as Leo takes them both to space, and suffers.
