A deceptively harmless-looking egg is launched toward Earth inside a Terror-Beast Missile, heralding yet another sinister plot by the Garoga aliens. Operating from a newly constructed underground base, the Garoga begin siphoning energy from an unlikely combination of sources: geothermal heat and the bioelectric power of ordinary chickens. All of this stolen energy is funneled directly into the mysterious egg. Their twisted experiment soon bears fruit when the monstrous Barakidon bursts into existence. As the creature emerges from its egg, tremors strike the nearby area, disorienting Hikaru on the surface and even damaging the underground Garoga base.
 Sensing the threat, Hikaru transforms into Zone Fighter and engages the rampaging Terror-Beast. Their clash spills across the landscape and continues deep into the night, each exchange of blows highlighting Barakidon's immense strength. Meanwhile, Hotaru acts with equal courage as Zone Angel, infiltrating the damaged Garoga stronghold to rescue Yoko, the missing sister of one of her friends. In the chaos, she also manages to secure the blueprints for Barakidon, uncovering a vital weakness: the monster's power is directly tied to its exposure to heat and light.
Armed with this information, Zone Angel escapes with Zone Junior and Yoko aboard Smokey. They ascend into the night sky and deploy heavy plumes of black smoke, successfully blotting out the moon and plunging the battlefield below into darkness. Deprived of its luminous energy source, Barakidon begins to falter. Desperate, the creature abandons its duel with Zone Fighter and charges toward a cluster of nearby homes still lit from within. Thankfully the heroic warrior intercepts the monster just in time, forcing it back with rapid melee attacks and the devastating Meteor Missile Might.
Still, Barakidon refuses to fall. Only when Zone Fighter switches tactics to unleash his chilling Meteor Freezer does the tide finally turn. A blast of icy mist engulfs the Terror-Beast, freezing its feathered body solid. Without heat or light to sustain it, Barakidon destabilizes and ultimately vaporizes in a brilliant cascade of flashing lights, bringing an end to the Garoga's latest scheme and restoring peace once more. |
