One day the trio are on the tail of a unidentified mysterious animal suspected of causing strange meteorological activity.

There they suddenly encounter the Demon King Beast of wind, Maga-Basser! Naomi is blasted by the vicious winds but rescued by the vagabond, Gai Kurenai (Hideo Ishiguro).
By using his Orb Ring to read the power of two previous Ultras, Gai is able to Fusion Up into a warrior of light from a distant galaxy, Ultraman Orb! And thus the curtain rises on a series of intense battles between Ultraman Orb and the Demon King Beasts, while behind the scenes, the mysterious Juggler takes hold of his Dark Ring while smiling sinisterly...
