Description
Three weeks after the alien spacecraft crash-landed on top of Graviton City, the girls find themselves on summer vacation. A-Ko becomes preoccupied with losing weight, while her rival B-Ko intensifies her schemes to defeat the redheaded super-girl and claim the affection of their friend C-Ko for herself. Meanwhile, the stranded alien captain Napolipolita and her loyal subordinate Spy-D suffer from severe homesickness and desperately seek a way to return to their home planet.

A new threat emerges in the form of Hikari Daitokuji, B-Ko's father and the powerful CEO of the Daitokuji Financial Group. Seeking to acquire advanced extraterrestrial technology, he supplies the local military with powerful new mecha robots designed to attack the damaged alien vessel. B-Ko herself designs an advanced giant robot, but her father steals the blueprints and uses them for his own attack, deploying a massive experimental mecha named the Queen Margarita against the alien ship. Desperate to return home, the Alpha Cygnan aliens have transformed their damaged vessel into a luxurious 30,000-room hotel to raise funds, adding a layer of absurd commerce to their predicament.

The story takes place in and around Graviton City, with the most prominent location being the massive alien starship precariously balanced atop the metropolis from the previous incident. The narrative follows multiple converging storylines: A-Ko and B-Ko continue their destructive, city-destroying rivalry over C-Ko, the aliens grapple with their unexpected captivity on Earth, and B-Ko's father orchestrates a hostile corporate takeover of the alien technology. As the military forces close in on the ship, B-Ko ultimately confronts her own father, leading to a climax where he dons one of his daughter's revealing battle suits in a futile attempt to catch the plummeting alien vessel. Throughout the summer vacation setting, the heroines are stalked by mysterious men in white suits who attempt to remain inconspicuous by reading newspapers, eventually revealing themselves as spies on a mission to capture Cygnan technology.
