An ISO research ship carrying uranium data is destroyed, leaving the Science Ninja Team to investigate. They encounter Taro and Jiro, two boys known as liars, who claim to have seen a crawfish apparition and a moving lighthouse. Ken discovers their catch is a rocket and the team visits the lighthouse, where they rescue the boys from a lynx that turns out to be a Galactor cyborg. Taro leads Ken to a secret passage beneath the lighthouse, revealing a Galactor base. The boys board the lighthouse rocket containing the lost data. The God Phoenix pursues a crawfish mecha through metallic seaweed and rocket squids, locating the base. The team rescues the children and recovers the data. Katse escapes capture by using a glass partition wall.
