After destroying Aribunta, Sho regrouped with Sakuya and Repi. Ultraman Hikari explained to them what happened: in every few thousand years, the mysterious Space Emperor would revive himself and the process brings a great turmoil throughout space. Ultraman King had sensed the incoming threat and sends Hikari, Leo, Astra and Ace to stop Yapool from helping the Emperor. If the Space Emperor successfully revives, the whole galaxy would be in great danger. In order to stop him, Ultraman Hikari had invented the Knight Timbre to seal the emperor and bestow it to Sho, since his inner Victorium power can unlock the weapon's potential. At Planet Gua, Leo and Astra tried to attack the reviving the Emperor but was forced to halt when they were attacked by Verokron, Vakishim and Doragory. Meanwhile at Satellite Golgotha, Ace fights Ace Killer in order to rescue Ultraman Ginga, whom was held captive. |
