==Plot==
===First Half===
A robed figure monologues about humanity's future, believing it to be leading to ruin if they do not interfere. Their first step is to become humanity's leader, which requires defeating the warriors of light, the Ultras.
After Pega explains the rules of the show to the audience, Ultraman Nice wanders in gloomily. He explains that a TV fortune teller told him to be careful not to drop anything, and that shortly after, he lost his wallet because there was a hole in his shopping bag. Nice describes what his wallet looks like, and Pega asks the audience if they have seen it, to no avail. Nice continues, saying the fortune teller also warned him to watch out for earthquakes, lightning, fire, and his father, much to Pega's shock. The two are then attacked by three monsters, Telesdon, Eleking and Demaaga, whose attacks fulfil the predictions of earthquakes, lightning and fire respectively, causing Nice to fear his father is coming for him next.
Ultraman Tiga then arrives to save them, quickly defeating the monsters with his Power Type. He questions how the defeated monsters have been resurrected, while Nice asks Tiga if he's seen his wallet. They are then interrupted by the robed figure, who reveals that the Gate to Hell has opened and with it, light will become darkness. When they leave, Nice ponders if that was his father, while Tiga runs off, concerned that other Ultras may be in trouble.
Elsewhere, Ultraman Dyna is battling Nova and Gandar. With the help of Tiga's Sky Type, they make short work of the monsters. Tiga tells Dyna that he believes someone is targetting the Ultra Warriors, and to warn the others while he searches for answers. Nice hurriedly trails after them. The robed figure appears once more, reviving Gomess and Zoiger, who are quickly found and fought by Ultraman Gaia and Ultraman Zero. They learn that their enemies don't seem to feel pain, and therefore must be zombies. Dyna then appears and informs the two of Tiga's theory. When Gaia questions why the monsters have shown up in such random places, the three Ultras realize that the monster appearances were to split them up, so they rush to Tiga's aid immediately.
Nice catches up with Tiga and comedically tries and fails to conceal his fear of the upcoming battles. The robed figure then shows themself once more and reveals the Gate to Hell to them. Tiga recognizes it and realizes the figure must be a Kyriel Person, to which the figure takes his Kyreloid form in response. Nova, Gandar, Gomess and Zoiger then exit the Gate to Hell, and Kyreloid explains that defeated monsters simply return to the other side, allowing him to endlessly resurrect them. Tiga takes on the four monsters, while Nice scrambles and scurries around them in fear. But before Tiga can finish them off, Kyrieloid reveals he has taken a hostage, Ultraman Z. Kyrieloid explains his plan to destroy humanity and rebuild the world using the dark power he can obtain by sacrificing the warriors of light to the Gate to Hell. Tiga is unable to fight back while Z is a hostage, but before he is dragged into the Gate by the monsters, Nice accidentally rescues him by tripping and shoving the monsters aside.
Thanks to an Ultra Charge by the audience, Tiga and Z's injures are healed, and Dyna, Gaia, and Zero arrive. Zero scolds Z for worrying them, saying he needs to get better if he's going to be his student, inspiring Z. The five Ultras take on the four monsters with ease, but before they can finish Kyrieloid, he pushes a confused Ultraman Nice into the Gate, and Tiga is pulled inside too by trying to rescue him. The remaining Ultras try destroying the Gate with beam attacks to no avail, and are unable to beat Kyrieloid after he is powered up by the Gate's sacrifices. Kyrieloid escapes, leaving the Ultras to question their next move. They decide to wait beside the Gate, believing that their comrades will escape.
===Second Half===
Behind the gate lies the World of Darkness, a realm populated by defeated monsters. Tiga meets up with Nice and is only just able to fend off Moravia and Giakuuda, learning that this dimension constantly siphons his energy, making him weaker. The two aimlessly search for an exit and despite their situation, Nice gleefully sings his theme song. They are then confronted by the Giants of Darkness, Camearra, Darramb and Hudra, who have ended up in the World of Darkness after their defeat. The three attack Tiga for betraying them.
Tiga stands no chance his weakened state, and falls to the ground. The giants prepare to finish him off, but Nice dashes to his side. Camearra gives him a chance to run away, knowing he is powerless and cowardly. However, Nice refuses. 
The dark giants laugh and strike Nice with a relentless barrage of attacks, but he refuses to give up. While Camearra watches in confusion, Nice decides to surrender the last of his light to Tiga, sacrificing himself. Enraged, Tiga takes the giants on again, but the darkness proves to be too much.
At the last moment, Tiga is saved by none other than Evil Tiga, who also entered the World of Darkness after his defeat. Camearra realizes that Evil Tiga also has history with Tiga, and allows him to finish Tiga off instead. However, Evil fights back, believing that there's no point in defeating Tiga in his weakened state. The two Tigas team up and battle the Giants of Darkness. Evil Tiga manages to defeat Darrgon and Hudra, while Tiga defeats Camearra with a Zeperion Beam. In her final moments, Camearra reveals that Tiga can escape if he uses darkness and gives him a Black Sparklence to do so. Before collapsing, she says that she wishes to meet Tiga again, in a situation where they don't have to fight.
Using the Black Sparklence causes Tiga's darkness to manifest as Tiga Dark, who battles him and attempts to convince him to abandon light for darkness to earn more power. Tiga stands little chance, especially when Tiga Dark brings Moravia and Giakuuda into the fight, but thanks to the voices of Dyna, Gaia, Zero, and Z on the other side of the Gate, combined with the audience's Ultra Charge, Tiga regains his strength and an ally is summoned to his side, Ultraman Trigger. Trigger takes care of the monsters, while Tiga succeeds in elminating his dark clone.
After the battle, the exit to the World of Darkness is in sight, but Tiga mourns Nice's sacrifice. However, Trigger reveals that the light from earlier also brought Nice back and Tiga is relieved. The two then finally make it back to the real world, much to Kyrieloid's horror. The six Ultras enter an all-out brawl with the remaining enemies, Kyrieloid, Gomess, Zoiger, Moravia and Giakuuda. The five monsters are easily defeated, leaving only a dejected Kyrieloid, who uses the last of his darkness to summon Gargorgon from the Gate. The Ultras struggle against their new opponent, until a Ultra Charge from the audience allows Tiga to assume his Glitter Tiga form. Using a Glitter Zeperion Beam combined with the other Ultra's beam attacks, Gargorgon is destroyed.
Before Kyrieloid dies, he states that monsters will endlessly escape from the Gate to Hell unless the doors are closed, which requires a sacrifice. Nice honorably offers himself as the sacrifice, but is kicked aside by Evil Tiga from the inside, who proclaims that he must be the sacrifice. Before Evil Tiga closes the doors, he asks Tiga if he could become light too. Tiga gladly says he can and that he is already one of their comrades now. Evil then shuts the gate, and it disappears in a flash of light.
Zero states that humanity's actions could lead to the Gate to Hell appearing again, but Tiga concludes that things will be okay, as long as humans keep light in their hearts. Nice then finds his wallet on the ground and is overjoyed. Finally, Tiga informs the audience that nobody knows what the future holds and it can only be decided by them.
