The show starts out with a 2-minute automatic space flight sequence towards the alien planet, where Peach flies with a fleet of Theet spacecrafts, led by the Professor Theet, on a rescue mission (since the Sour Bunch aliens have abducted several Theet scientists), as she must protect them from incoming Shageki Gata UFOs, Enban Gata UFOs and Tosshin Gata UFOs, as well as Carry Aliens clinging onto their ships, and at one point also evade asteroids. As the fleet reaches the alien planet, the Ōgata Arm UFO makes its reappearance, guarding its home planet alongside four Shageki Gata UFOs. Peach must counter the Ōgata Arm UFO's punch attack, allowing her to sling it far away (while hitting more Shageki Gata UFOs and Tosshin Gata UFOs in the process); after defeating the Ōgata Arm UFO, the fleet is able to land safely on the alien planet.

After the landing sequence, Peach and three Theets begin their rescue mission on ground, while the rest of the fleet stay flying to look for the alien base in the sky. Peach and the three Theets are interrupted by an Uchūjin Dūke and two Beam Dūke who attempt to kidnap the Theets with their pulse beams. The Theets meanwhile attempt to defend themselves by swinging their laser swords far short of target, until Peach defeats the three Dūke, as well as the group of Uchūjin Dūke that show up afterwards.

Running along a two-lane highway with trucks parked along it, the Yami no Kyodai UFO shows up to suck up parts of the highway. Peach is able to slow down the Yami no Kyodai UFO by throwing trucks at it. Although Peach cannot fall off or be sucked into the Yami no Kyodai UFO, her accompanied Theets can. If the Theets do get sucked up, they will show up after Peach throws a truck at the UFO anyway. At the end of the sequence, a large truck blocks the path, but Peach is able to lift it up and fling it at the Yami no Kyodai UFO, temporarily defeating it.

The group eventually reaches the cage that holds the six scientist Theets, but they get attacked by seven Uchūjin Dūke, two Beam Dūke and a Carry Alien in attempt to prevent them from opening the cage. Peach is able to eventually defeat the group split in two rounds, and free the scientists, with the remaining fleet from the sky appearing shortly afterwards to pick them up. Immediately afterwards, however, the Yami no Kyodai UFO returns, as it grows giant arms.

In response, the Professor and the scientists activate some programs that allow Peach to become ginormous, leading her to engage in a kaiju fight against the Yami no Kyodai UFO. Peach must approach the Yami no Kyodai UFO whilst countering its punch attacks, until she is close enough to grab it and hurl it behind her. This causes the Yami no Kyodai UFO to charge towards her, which Peach must hold off until she is able to lift the Yami no Kyodai UFO, and then hurl it far away, defeating it for good as it explodes.
