MAT fought the two again in their limited assets and this time joined by Ultraman Jack. Both monster and alien had an upper hand against Jack, but the support from MAT members gave the Ultra a second wind by first killing its master and then disabling Zetton by throwing the monster airborne before firing his Specium Ray.
