I'm Student Body President Yuriko Oozora.

I'll be participating in the invasion of Japan.

Ground Defense Force Mao-chan

Neverending everyday life...

...is always waiting for you in this town.

Instead of being hurt and troubled all alone,

try telling me what's in your heart.

I want to wrap you up...

...with infinite love,

with a strong heart,

and with deep affection.

All my love, you're my love...

I'll win the goddess of victory over to my side.

All my life, you're my life...

I'll go on loving you...

...no matter what happens.

I'll stand by you forever.

"We Even Defend Against a Water Skipper".

The Xth of O.

That night, I dreamed about my childhood.

Yuriko, I'm sorry that I've hidden this from you all this time.

But the truth is, your mother is an alien.

Nothing could be better proof than those cat ears of yours.

Dad...

Yuriko, you'll have to live as an alien from now on.

You see, my standing in the family is weak because I married into it.

"Live as an alien," huh?

On your mark...

Darn it, I'm a Ground Defense Force member, so why can't I run...?

You ran the best you could, Mao-chan.

But...

You're just a klutz, Mao-chan.

Mao Onigawara, running strength level 1.

Misora Tsukishima, running strength level 5.

Sylvia Maruyama, running strength unknown.

President, all we need to do now is collect video reference material and--

Um... Hello.

Miss Yuriko, what's the matter?

Well, if you don't mind, could I get a picture of all three of you Defense Force members?

A picture?

That's right. I'm a fan of you and your teammates, you see.

Uh, okay.

Please, go right ahead!

Thanks, but I'll pass.

Why?

I'm not photogenic.

I don't know why, but in pictures, I always look spaced out with my mouth hanging open.

You always look like that.

You say funny things.

I do?

Um... Just one shot? Is that all right?

Make me look pretty...

What's 5+4+2+7+12+18-46?

See? Isn't this a great picture of them?

You do realize that you're a spy, don't you, President?

Now they know your name and your face!

But don't they say, "To know thy enemy, know thyself?"

We're here to gather intelligence, not make friends with them!

Did I do a bad thing?

Infinitely bad.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry... All I do is mess up...

Still, I wonder why they were able to call up the Power of Kusanagi?

That time...

And that time, too.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry... All I do is mess up...

Would you please get a grip?!

Huh? That's--

Oh, that's so cute!

That's Jirocho, a secret agent alien.

Good timing. Would you take this data and picture back to headquarters?

Thank you for your help.

Garbage pickup duty, complete!

Mao-chan, I'm going home with you.

Okay!

Wanna come over to my place again and have some tangerines?

Thank you, but no.

Oh, okay... Boy, you two sure are bashful.

That may not be the reason...

What's the matter?

Look at that!

The mouse is getting attacked by a cat!

It really is!

That's Orochi...

Who?

I just thought that would be a good name for a cat.

It's done for!

Ground Defense Force headquarters!

Do you read me? This is Private Onigawara!

What's the matter, Mao-chan?

A cat here is being mean to a mouse!

May I download my Type 2 Ground Gear?

For a download, we need special budget approval from the Cabinet.

I don't have the authority to make that decision by myself.

But if we don't do something soon, the mouse is gonna...

Mao-chan!

Please! The mouse is living in Japan!

I want to rescue him! I want to defend him!

I'm of the same opinion as Mao-chan!

C'mon, a little defending isn't gonna hurt anybody.

I understand how you feel, but--

Let them!

Chief of Staff!

I hereby order Private Onigawara to undertake special training!

Mao, defend all you like!

Be it an earthworm, a cricket, or even a water skipper, defend it!

Roger, sir! Type 2 Ground Gear...

Download!

Riku-bo!

Private Mao Onigawara of the Ground Defense Force!

I will defend the country in high spirits again today!

Wait just a moment!

The Ground Defense Force is going to defend that mouse that's in trouble!

Mao-chan, you're cool!

Go for it, go for it!

All done!

I'm calling it a day! See you later!

No running in the halls!

I need to hurry to headquarters and report to the Chief of Staff--

Huh?

What's she doing in her Type 2 Ground Gear?

What should I do?

What's the big deal?

If you can't tame a cat, you've got no business being in the Defense Forces.

Good kitty, good kitty. Who's a cute kitty?

Sylvie-chan?

That hurt...!

That cat...

...is one tough cookie.

But... But...

But!

Private Oniga-- Er, Mao-chan! What are you doing?!

- Miss Mishima! - Miss Mishima!

Why are you wearing your Type 2-- er, that outfit?!

Why? Why!?

The thing is, that cat was attacking that mouse, and...

A cat?

Why did the cat do that?

Wh-What?

Miss Mishima, you're great!

You did it!

That's a grownup for you!

Wh-What's going on?

You defended him for us, Miss Mishima!

Most impressive!

Situation resolved!

Would someone please explain what's going on?

Miss Mishima, you're great!

I have no idea what's going on!

Looks like Jirocho made it back safely.

Yes...

Thank you, Mao-chan.

Chinami-chan, Mao-chan is such a sweet girl, isn't she?

President, please don't praise the enemy!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry... All I do is mess up.

Defense, defense, we'll do our best!

I'm for the ground!

I'm for the sky!

I'm for the sea, leave it to me!

Defense, defense, we'll do our best!

Defense, defense, we'll do our best!

They run past us in fast-forward,

this brand-new everyday.

Smiling, calm and composed,

I handle trouble lightly and quickly.

Even when tears go straight to my heart.

Let's throw a peace sign into the blue sky...

...and fight for our future.

Never give up, never look back.

That's my style.

Let's do our best again tomorrow with high spirits...

...until we reach our dreams.

The three grade school Defense Force members...

...are unable to use the power of their space badges.

A capture operation against the cute aliens was drawn up.

And its name is...

Next week, "Project: Defense Barrier"!

Yuru-yuru next week, too!
