Ultraman Zero Side Story: Killer the Beatstar (ウルトラマンゼロ外伝 キラー ザ ビートスター, Urutoraman Zero Gaiden Kirā Za Bītosutā) is a Japanese

Jean-Bot and Princess Emerana were kidnapped by a mysterious celestial sphere, with the rest of the Ultimate Force Zero arrived too late to save them.

A week later, ZAP Spacy members Rei and Hyuga were on a trip to Planet Buram (惑星ブラム, Wakusei Buramu) while their ship, Space Pendragon, was under maintenance. The pair discovered the celestial sphere on a collision course with Planet Buram and decided to take matters into their own hands by intruding into it through a small crack. Rei discovered Emerana and rescued her by summoning his Gomora to take on the Legionoid that was chasing her, but three other robots appeared and overpowered the monster in an instant. Using the Ultimate Aegis, Zero, Mirror Knight and Glenfire jumped from across the multiverse to get into the celestial sphere to reunite with Emerana and saved the three from the incoming robots. The sphere's controller then sent Jean-Killer into the fray against Ultimate Force Zero and a brainwashed Jean-Bot against the humans. In the middle of the chaos, Ultraman, Zoffy and Ultraseven flew to the celestial sphere.

Rei summoned his Litra (S) to delay Jean-Bot while Emerana and Hyuga tried to hide from the brainwashed robot. Emerana managed to command her brainwashed guardian to stop, inadvertently freezing Jean-Killer as well. The three humans entered Jean-Bot's cockpit to discover the robot had sabotaged his own internal workings in order to free himself from the brainwashing. Jean-Bot then revealed the mastermind's identity, Beatstar, a program who controlled the celestial sphere to destroy planets rich in organic life forms. By amassing data of multiple robots, he mass-produced them as his armies and compiled their data (including Jean-Bot's as the base model) into Jean-Killer.

While repairing Jean-Bot, the three realized that as Jean-Killer was created from the former, he also reacted to Emerana's voice and could be convinced to turn to their side, which they eventually did. Zoffy, Ultraman and Seven lent their assistance by delaying the sphere from its collision course and Jean-Killer directed the team to Beatstar's control room on the hemispheric moon. As Zero entered the control room, Beatstar revealed that his creators came from a universe that was destroyed by an invader. Said invader's victims created the sphere to escape their doomed universe, but its inhabitants raged war against one another and eventually went extinct. The war within the sphere convinced Beatstar to eradicate all life forms to preserve peace in outer space. Beatstar then exited his control panel and fought Zero directly, eventually overpowering him. Jean-Killer saved Zero and with Hyuga's piloting, they were able to defeat Beatstar, causing the sphere and its entire robot army to self-destruct. By taking account of the Ultimate Force Zero members and the ZAP Spacy team's assistance, Emerana decided to rename Jean-Killer as Jean-Nine and instructed Jean-Bot to be his tutor.
