Synopsis
When Mebius is defeated by Alien Reflect, Ultraman Leo, in the guise of Gen Otori, returns to give Mebius a harsh lesson and train him for a rematch against the invader.
Plot
Ultraman Mebius battles Alien Reflect, but his attacks are useless. The alien leaves, sparing the Ultra his life. Mirai hears someone calling him, and they go to an island which had once been sunk by the Giras Brothers. There they find Gen Otori, and he tells them that he was unable to protect the island in his first battle on Earth.
Gen tells Mirai he has come to Earth to battle him. He transforms and Teppei recognizes him as Ultraman Leo. Mebius battles him but is quickly defeated. Gen tells him that Earth is his true home, and he cannot allow Mirai to defend it as he is. Tossing Mirai his old kimono he trained in, he tells him that if the young Ultra can defeat Alien Reflect then he will allow him to guard the Earth.
Yuki informs GUYS that Leo often lost to aliens, but always won in a rematch by unleashing a new attack. Mirai trains in the clothes Gen left. When Ryu lights a fire using friction, Mirai is inspired to come up with a new attack. Just then the Alien Reflect arrives.
Mirai transforms, asking GUYS not to aid him in this battle. He kicks the alien and adds spin to the kick, inspired by Ryu. The alien is knocked down but takes GUYS crew hostage. In response of this, Gen turns into Leo to interfere, giving Mebius an opening to set them free from his clutches. In the ensuing battle, both Ultras defeated their opponent with their respective kick technique.
In the aftermath of the battle, Gen entrusts the humbled Mebius and his friends Earth, knowing that his second home is in the safe hands.
