After a brief summary of the events of the first season narrated by Sugane, Prime Minister Sugiyama's plane is attacked by two fighter jets hijacked by the mysterious WAPE organization, composed of anonymous users of red-colored Crowds. Upon being informed of the situation by X, Rui transforms himself into a Gatchaman and transports himself and Hajime to inside the plane in order to fend off the attackers, while also transporting Joe to destroy the jets in the air with Sugane's help. After the situation is resolved, an alien craft is seen in route of crash landing in Nijima, and Hajime asks Paiman, O.D., and Utsutsu to check on it, before leaving as well. Meanwhile, the craft lands on a rural area where an unnamed girl is sleeping.
