Synopsis
Gen, on earth, trains at the training place. Meanwhile, Ultraseven is engaged in battle with two twin monsters -- Red and Black Gillas. As Seven fights, the master of the two beasts, Alien Magma, appears and tips the scale further in their favor. After his leg is severely fractured by the Black Gillas, a new hero appears and saves Seven from certain death. It's Ultraman Leo from the barren Nebula L77 in the Leo Constellation. Magma and the Giras Monsters are driven off, but Dan Moroboshi is unable to transform back into Ultraseven.
Dan tells Gen he must protect the earth, and gets him to join MAC (Monster Attacking Crew), of which he is the captain. Gen brings the news of his membership to the sports club. He spends time with Kaoru. He then begins to train the intrepid ultra, harshly. Soon, Red and Black Gillas return, sinking an island.
Gen reports to MAC. He believes Alien Magma is behind the sinking, but no evidence is found. Then the monsters attack Tokyo, devastating it. The sports club flees, but Gen transforms. Leo battles the monsters, but is no match for them.
End.
