Plot
In space, Cures Star, Milky, Soleil, Selene and Cosmo battle Tengu and the Notrei army. During the battle, the meteor shower approaches, Milky commands Prunce to move her ship while getting hit by a star drop. A police detective Mary Anne arrives and assists the Cures, forcing Tengu to escape. As Mary Anne tries to arrest Cosmo, she escape with Milky's rocket.
Next morning at Hikaru's house, the star drop that fell on Lala is shown to be alive. It grows an antenna and a body and transports them to Okinawa after hearing Hikaru's wish. With joy and excitement, Hikaru decides to name the creature UMA (Unidentified Mysterious Animal). Elena and Madoka, who are also currently spending their time on Okinawa on vacation, are surprised by Hikaru's aburpt appearance. Lala briefly argues with UMA, which it cries after, and Lala hums a tune to calm it down. After Elena and Madoka meets UMA for the first time, Hikaru and the others travel to various places around the world. Meanwhile, Mary Anne halts her pursuit to Yuni, whom realizes that a group of alien hunters are heading towards Earth.
The Hunters: Gyro III, Hydro, Burn, Dive and Chop lands on Earth and demands Hikaru and Lala to hand over UMA, where Elena, Madoka and Yuni arrives to aid the duo, transforms and fight. After being overwhelmed by the Hunters, Fuwa uses the power of the Miracle Light, which allows the Cures to use the power of the Star Princesses. After capturing the Hunters, Mary Anne explains that she has to take UMA as well, which Lala refuses. As Burn breaks himself free and snatches UMA, in which adding to Lala's yelling and crying, ends up becoming unstable by enlarging its size similar to Earth.
Desperate to stop and plead UMA from going beserk, the Cures make their way to it while facing various groups of new Hunters. Milky expresses her regret by not letting UMA go, and her and Star sings a song to UMA, with Soleil, Selene and Cosmo joining in.
