Plot

As a result of Yapool's dirty trick, Ace was forced to forfeit when his brothers were under crucifixion. Hokuto and Minami were treated with artificial sunlight to heal their injuries. Commander Takakura arrived to provide the plan to destroy Planet Golgotha with a Superluminal Missile that can breach into the minus universe. The time given to complete the missile would be a week, and proceeded to be launched in July 7th (coincidentally during Hokuto and Minami's birthday). Hokuto realizes the risk of killing the four Ultra Brothers that way, but is incapable of defying Takakura's orders. The Superluminal Missile No.7 was built as a manned projectile, wherein the pilot would drove the front part and eject the rear half on the Anti Universe.

During that missile's creation period, Yapool also created the Ace Killer to steal the captured Brothers' tactics (Ultraman's Spacium energy, Zoffy's M87 Beam, Seven's Emerium energy and Jack's Ultra Bracelets) into his own assets. Using the Ace Robot as a testing dummy, Ace Killer used all of their attacks to destroy it while the Brothers watched helplessly in their impending doom.

Hokuto was chosen to pilot the missile due to the computer's decision. During the flight, the lever used to separate his cockpit from the missile failed. While the TAC members argued with Takakura for taking Hokuto's life lightly, he obliged with the suicidal mission, seeing it as the only way to reunite Ace with the Brothers. It was at that moment when Baraba commenced attack again and TAC departed to the scene. Despite being connected through the screen Hokuto and Minami transforms into Ace and destroy the Superluminal Missile before reaching Golgotha.

Ace was content in dying with his brothers, while his fight against Ace Killer was confirmed to be a one-sided disadvantage. The rest of the Brothers charged their energy into Ace's Ultra Hole, allowing him to create the Space Q and destroy Ace Killer. After failing their mission, Yapool had the Planet Golgotha into self destruct, but the Ultra Brothers leave safely as Ace rushed to fight Baraba on Earth. With no advantages, Baraba was quickly beheaded with its own weapon by Ace. In TAC's base, the TAC members and Shoji celebrated both Tanabata and Hokuto and Minami's birthday.

The two hosts stare at the starry night and reminisces the tale of Tanabata in regards to the characters Kengyu (Hikoboshi) and Orihime.
