Synopsis
One night in the city of Coastal View, Maya Tate is in her room with Lucas Tate, looking at the stars and drawing them in her notebook. Suddenly, she sees a shooting star and gets a vision of a human-like alien. Inspired, Maya connects the stars she drew with lines, creating her own constellation depicting the creature. The notebook then floats into the air and glows, and the creature comes out into the real world. He's an energetic animal with the ability to fly, and he speaks English. Maya is shocked at first, but she quickly becomes ecstatic to see a real alien. The humanoid then summons a star-shaped portal in Maya's room, sucking the three of them into space. Maya and Lucas are amazed. Plus, they're magically able to breathe since the humanoid gave them an aura that allowed them to do so. As they are floating along, Maya and Lucas see a ringed planet coated in darkness. However, before Lucas can find out what exactly the planet is, he wakes up the next morning. At first, Lucas thinks that the encounter with the humanoid was a dream. Then, he sees the creature floating around in his room. The humanoid flies out of Lucas's window, and Lucas immediately goes to chase after him.

However, Lucas is stopped by his stern grandfather, who wants to know why Lucas is running off who knows where. To his dismay, The Tate twins' mother and grandmother, are perfectly fine with Lucas wanting to go outside, as they understand the energy that comes from having a wonderful dream. Lucas's grandmother even packs a lunchbox for him.

Maya sets off on her bike and stops by a planetarium owned by an elderly friend of hers, Camden Galilei. He was the one who gave her the notebook she was drawing in last night. She asks if the notebook is magic, and he says that it's just an ordinary notebook she got so she could draw out her huge imagination. Maya then leaves to continue pursuing her humanoid friend, bids farewell to the planetarium owner, and crosses paths with her brother Lucas (who went to the local art shop next to Calle to buy Maya some stuff on HIS bike).

Before long, the two run out of energy due to not eating breakfast (Maya) and not taking a nap after school (Lucas) and have to take a break. The twins pull one donut each out of their lunchboxes. The humanoid then flies toward Lucas, attracted by his vanilla jelly donut. Maya then feeds him the donut.

Cyrallis then falls asleep on top of Lucas and dreams about the Star Deities, the gods and godesses who sent him to Earth. Specifically, Leo told Cyrallis that he was their only hope. Cyrallis then wakes up and senses that an alien spaceship is being chased by other malevolent ships. To rescue them, Cyrallis opens another portal, enabling the spaceship to land on Earth. Out of the spaceship comes a werewolf lizard-like alien suffering from motion sickness and a smaller jellyfish-like alien who speaks English. At first, the two aliens are horrified to find that they've been discovered by Terrans, but they've calmed down a bit when it turns out that Lucas and Maya are amazed by their presence rather than afraid. Maya tries to communicate with the aliens, but she finds that the humanoid alien speaks another language. Nonetheless, Maya is able to communicate Lucas's and her own names to the alien, and he replies with his name, Spark. The other alien introduces himself as Serakis and says that he and Spark have been looking for an Exarite aura being. Lucas shows him Cyrallis and asks if he's the one they're looking for. Serakis is angered to find that Maya named him despite him already having a name: Cyralis Shinerain Cometfluff. Lucas says that Cyrallis's real name could stand out in a Terran populace, and Cyrallis is happy to be referred to as Cyrallis. Serakis gives in.

Then, the ships that were pursuing Spark and Serakis appear, and an alien named Zearic emerges from one of them. Spark, Serakis, and Cyrallis are scared, but Lucas is feeling determined to kick alien ass, and Maya is overjoyed to see another alien. Due to a translator device around his neck, Zearic is able to speak in English. He says that his organization, the Darkrain, aim to take Cyrallis and use his power to conquer the universe. Spark and Serakis take Cyrallis aboard their ship and flee for safety. As they go into space, they seem to have escaped the Darkdrones. They're then shocked to notice that Maya snuck aboard the spaceship before they took off.

Shortly, the Darkrain catch up with the ship. They blow a hole in the ship's window, causing the air to be sucked out into the vacuum of space. When Cyrallis is sucked out, Maya and Lucas jump after him despite a warning from Serakis. Serakis then inflates himself to plug the hole in the window, keeping some of the air from leaving.

Just like in Maya's dream, Lucas and Maya can breathe in space when they are affected with Cyrallis's aura. Zearic tells Maya to give Cyrallis up because he needs his power. Maya protests that Cyrallis is not an item and that she and her brother will protect him. Meanwhile, Lucas charges at Zearic only to get a very painful kick in his gut. Their determination causes two Astral Knight Morphers and the Leo and Vulpecula Deity Pen to appear in front of Lucas and Maya. They insert their pens into their sword-like morphers and find themselves morphing. In the end, Lucas and Maya have morphed into the Astral Knights of Stars and Supernovae (the Red and Pink Rangers, repectively).

The Rangers are shocked at first, but they quickly gets their minds together. As this happens, numerous suited Darkrain minions, called Darkdrones, charge them. At this moment, the Rangers fight the Darkdrones, and win despite them being outnumbered and being in the zero-gravity environment of space.

Cyrallis, Lucas and Maya board the ship, and they, Spark, and Serakis are happy to have succeeded. Lucas thanks the other four and holds Spark's hands, telling him that he'd like to become one of his friends. A green flame-like aura then envelopes Spark, enabling Lucas, Maya and Spark to communicate with each other. Cyrallis is then tired, so he transforms Maya's notebook into the Astral Codex an then turns into a ball of golden aura. They don't have long to celebrate this, however. The ship is badly damaged and is falling back towards Earth. Four humans, Travis Reyes-Hernandez, Kiana Lee, Raye de Lara and Amy Park, see this and confuse it for a shooting star. The episode ends with the spaceship crashing into a mountain.
