Sometime later after Alien Psychokino was driven away by GUYS after a scuffle with a flustered Aide Toriyama, she unleashed Angross upon the surface for him to resume his rampage, revealing that she was in control of Angross's actions the whole time. Ultraman Mebius quickly arrived on the scene to battle the monster, but Alien Psychokino's psychic abilities overwhelmed Mebius and allowed Angross to gain the upperhand with ease, burying Mebius in a giant mound of dirt. With Mebius incapacitated, GUYS and Miclas was summoned to battle Angross and for a while, Miclas appeared to have the upperhand against the monster until its timer ran out.
