Whilst Seiya briefs everyone else, Mitsukuni reveals to Yuna that he is another dimension where he was a TPC investigation officer from the NeoFrontier universe.[9] 30 years ago, his GUTS Wing was accidentally pulled into a space-time vortex and he became lost in this dimension where he married Yurika and they established Sizuma Foundation.[9] They are interrupted by a monster attack, so whilst Akito leads Yuna away, Mitsukuni remote pilots the GUTS Wing, which became the prototype for the GUTS Falcon, and assists Trigger in defeating the monster.

The Absolutians Tartarus and Diavolo appear at Kengo's Earth intending to steal the Eternity Core, using their power to dissuade the giants of darkness from attempting to stop them. They send the monster Darebolic forcing Kengo to transform into Glitter Trigger Eternity to destroy it. Meanwhile, Ignis approaches Akito and provides him with intel on the Absolutians in repayment for the tech he stole. Diavolo appears to challenge Trigger, forcing Kengo to fight him despite being wounded from the last battle and still unable to control the power of the Eternity Core. Trigger is overpowered by Diavolo, but is rescued by Ultraman Ribut. Back at the Nursedessei, Akito completes a new Hyper Key that will allow them to unlock the true power of the battleship.[9][11]
While Kengo has some special training to master the power of the Eternity Core with Ribut and Yuna's help, the rest of GUTS-Select begin their plan to lure Diavolo into a trap and steal his Absolute Particles to power-up the Nursedessei. With an unexpected help from the Giants of Darkness against their common enemy, the team succeeds and unlocks Nursedessei's battle mode, who assists Ribut and Glitter Trigger Eternity into destroying Diavolo. Having learned to control his new powers, Kengo bids farewell to Ribut, thanking him for his help, while Diavolo revives by the power of his Absolute Heart. Tartarus and Diavolo depart from Earth to move on with their agenda and Ignis successfully infuses his GUTS Sparklence and Hyper Key with Trigger Dark's powers to transform into the dark Ultra.[11][9]
Ignis, transformed into Trigger Dark, loses control of his powers and has a short fight with Trigger before fleeing. From the debris of their battle, a seed-shaped sphere is revealed. While Akito investigates the sphere with Yuna and Kengo, Ignis attacks Hudram, determined to avenge the destruction of his home planet. However, Hudram activates the sphere, revealing the Infernal Beast Metsu-Orga who attacks Trigger Dark. Trigger and GUTS-Select intervene, but Metsu-Orga absorbs the energy of their attacks and evolves into the much stronger Metsu-Orochi who easily defeats both Triggers. Out of options, Captain Tatsumi declares that they will use the Gargorgon Key as a last resort against the Infernal Beast.[12]
Using the Gargorgon Key as ammunition, the Nursedessei fires its main cannon against Metsu-Orochi, temporarily petrifying the monster, but also rendering its weapon system useless. While the monster recovers, GUTS-Select assemble an army using conventional weapons as energy weapons only make it stronger. When Metsu-Orochi starts moving again, the team's efforts to destroy the monster's horn and preventing it from absorbing more energy are hindered when Ignis, disturbed by his memories of the past, attacks Metsu-Orochi as Trigger Dark, until Kengo, piloting the GUTS Falcon, destroys the horn. As Glitter Trigger Eternity, Kengo destroys Metsu-Orochi but Carmeara attacks him in sequence, seeking revenge on Kengo for making Trigger Dark leave her side. Using Trigger's Circle Arms, Trigger Dark wounds Carmeara and Darrgon convinces her to retreat. After the battle, Ignis is arrested once Akito realizes that he is Trigger Dark and confiscates the GUTS Sparklence and Hyper Keys in his possession.[12]

After retreating, Kengo realizes that only by balancing the light and dark in Ultraman Trigger he can properly control the Eternity Core's energy and Akito comes with a plan to have Yuna gather the energy of the Eternity Core for Trigger, but using the Nursedessei as a medium to prevent it from destroying her body. With Ignis' help, Kengo infuses both Trigger and Trigger Dark's powers into one single key, that allows him to transform into Trigger Truth. Realizing their plan, Carmeara uses her darkness to send clones of Hudram and Dargon to attack the Nursedessei, with Kengo's friends fighting the invaders to protect Yuna. Trigger Truth is overpowered by Megalothor until the children watching the battle on TV send their energies to him to make him stronger, and he combines his powers with the Nurse Cannon to destroy Megalothor and Carmeara for good. Before Carmeara's spirit vanishes, Kengo finally manages to reason with her, and she finds some peace as she fades away.

Before leaving, R'lyeh finally blooms and he promises to one day return to their side.
