Plot[]
A month prior, a spaceship crashed into the mountains of northeast Peru, South America, after its crewmembers fought amongst themselves. While three other aliens managed to flee, remnants of the crashed ship and its deceased crew members were investigated by TDF. In a delivery ship, some of those items were glowing orbs from the alien ship.
In the present day, Mizuno became smitten with Saeko Hamuro, female dentist from Hamuro Dental Clinic. Kaji alerted the UG with the news of the spaceship crash incident from a month prior. Within that ship, a group of 7 Alien Remojo terrorists try to make use of Earth as a test site for their bio-weapon Bolajo, but a mutiny happened amongst its crew members, leaving only 3 members to survive the crash. TDF managed to recover a single member that cooperated with their investigations, but he died shortly after due to his injuries. Currently, the three Remojos were hiding in Tokyo and their Bolajo had arrived in Japan. Although having multiple traits similar to humans, the Remojos can only maintain their human guise for at least 12-16 hours.
Because of Kaji’s public announcement of the alien’s existence, the Remojos became extremely careful in their disguises and try to maintain their charade for at least another 9 days. The UG’s wild goose chase only leads to nowhere. Meanwhile, one of the disguised Remojo was caught shoplifting and accidentally exposed his true form to a police officer, alerting UG to Shinjuku. When the Remojo happen to came across Saeko, the rest of UG decided to continue their pursuit while allowing Mizuno to send his crush home. Saeko spent her time providing Mizuno with a special treatment.
The warehouse where Bolajo was kept in was suddenly devoid of rats. Unaware to UG, a bug was placed within their ranks (by Saeko no less), leaking Mizuno’s quotes to the Remojo. Kazamori went on his own to Hamuro’s clinic, but he was later replaced with an impostor who mislead the UG to an empty lot for the Remojo to personally assassinate them. One of the Remojo was killed, and this forced the other two to retreat to personally kill Kazamori/Seven for their lost comrade. Kazamori summoned Windom to scare the aliens, now with the info that Bolajo would ripen in two days and reported to Kaji that Saeko is an Alien Remojo who assumed the form of the original owner of Hamuro Dental Clinic that had passed away two years prior.
Mizuno went against Kaji by escaping prison and decided to follow the Remojo to their hideout in the amusement park. He revealed that he had already discovered her bug from his fake tooth implant, but still believed in her innocence. The Remojos decided to use Earth as a testing area for Bolajo, wherein the creature shall cover Earth and eventually killing mankind. Nonetheless, he provided them his full cooperation by evading TDF blockade, but secretly leaking his location to UG. After tricking the Remojo into lowering their guard, Mizuno brought the crate full of Bolajo for Satomi to burn them off. However, they managed to get their hands on one of them and the male Remojo sacrificed his life to turn the plant into a monster. Kazamori transformed into Seven to rescue Shiragane/Ultra Hawk 3 and fight against the Bolajo. Shiragane returned the favour by rescuing Seven as well for the Ultra to deliver his counterattack and finishing the monster.
Despite Mizuno’s offer to send her back to Planet Remojo, Saeko peacefully died in the former’s arms.
