The Unidentified Object Convoy Order

is the ninth episode of Ultraman Z.
==Synopsis==
The GAF has recovered Ultra Medals. This time, STORAGE's mission is to escort them to a secure facility. However, aliens are hunting for the hidden treasure of the Ultra Medals! How will STORAGE and Ultraman Z deal with the approaching Space Robot, King Joe? Watch as Z bursts out with a new special move!
==Plot==
Several months after Genegarg's destruction, GAF members had been salvaging the scattered Ultra Medals for research purposes after detecting special plasma energies within them. A trio of researchers from Monster Research Center were ambushed by King Joe as it proceed to claim the Medals.
This incident catches the interest of STORAGE members, especially since the culprit (an alien) sent a video demanding GAFJ to surrender the other three space treasures (Ultra Medals) in their possession, or otherwise they will be dealt with an attack from their powerful robot. STORAGE members are assigned to deliver the remaining three Ultra Medals to JAERC (Joint Advanced Equipment Research Center). Yuka predicts that the alien can detect the Medals because of their plasma energy, and JAERC has a protected room 300 meters underground. Hebikura constructs a plan to arrange a delivery convoy at the mountainous areas as Yuka creates the Super Ionizing Case to prevent the Medals from emitting plasma signals. Hebikura and Yuka will deliver the Medals by a minivan whereas Haruki pilot the Windom as their guard, leaving Yoko with no roles.
The plan goes smoothly until King Joe attacks. Windom tries to intercept but the robot is capable of splitting into four separate components. Surrounding the minivan at a dam, Hebikura and Yuka are forced into surrendering the case. To Haruki's dismay, it was all a ploy to have Yoko delivering the actual briefcase using STEGG as the object that King Joe took was simply faking the Medals' radiations. Unfortunately for Yoko as well, the JAERC officer that awaits her turn out to be a disguised Kaburagi, who lures King Joe by opening the case and make a run for it.
Z manages to protect Yoko from the blast and claims the three Ultra Medals before King Joe, but forgets on how to use them. King Joe continues to pummel Z before he escapes with Beta Smash and assumes Gamma Future. Using Yuka's advise on its weakness, Z summons the three Heisei Ultras to trick King Joe into splitting and harness the three Medals' powers to strike them with lightning.
With Z obtaining the Medals, STORAGE failed their mission, but the director shifts his focus to salvaging King Joe's parts. From the wreckage site, the unnamed alien rises his hand...
