Plot
Woodrow, Susan, Toko, and Stanley are walking through Steel Town one evening, and Toko detects a strange presence around the area. Glass shatters and from Steel Town Bank fall three mysterious figures who are stealing some jewelry. Woodrow, Toko, and Stanley in their Esper forms try to chase after them and try to take back the jewels they are taking off with. Woodrow takes on the leader of the trio, a pirate woman, only to be defeated by her in seconds. Calling forth a flying pirate ship, the woman and her partners escape Steel Town.

The next day, Woodrow and his friends felt something off since their encounter with the trio, as if any trace of life is slowly being consumed by another force. They noticed some of the humans and plant life looking weary as they investigated the presence. At that moment, the pirate woman from last night appeared with her crew. Named Spiral, she came to this world in search of an evil entity named Haze. She elaborates by saying that it will absorb all life on the Earth, and more likely the universe, unless someone stops it. With no other choice, the Espers trust Spiral as they all set off to stop this new nemesis before the Earth and the universe is destroyed by Haze's terrible power.
