Ultraman: I, Ultimate Hyperzeton

Super Beast King Qiangbo appears, suspected to be sent by the Yapool to hunt down the Simon aliens.

Just as Beidou was about to transform to stop the super beast, he saw that his teammates had already arrived in front of him.

"Take the children and get out of here! We're here!" Captain Ryugoro shouted, raising his gun.

The mountain team members, who had always been at odds with Hokuto, proved to be incredibly reliable during the battle: "Hokuto, I'll cover you!"

"Thank you..." Beidou apologized to everyone, then quickly turned and returned to the cave.

Inside the cave, the Simon alien and the children huddled in a corner. The children, despite being terrified themselves, comforted the Simon alien, saying, "Team Tucker and Ace will definitely be able to defeat the Super Beast."

"Don't be afraid..."

"Hmm." The Simon alien nodded, looking up at the Big Dipper at the cave entrance, but a different expression appeared in his eyes, like a joke, or like a smug look.

"Beidou, you've fallen for their trap!" A familiar, sinister voice suddenly exploded in Beidou's mind.

Having clashed with the Yapools several times before, Hokuto easily recognized the voice: "The Yapool!"

"You are a Yapool!" he shouted in his mind, looking at the Simon aliens in the distance.

Simon the alien narrowed his large eyes, revealing an extremely sinister expression: "So what if we know?"

“You taught these children to protect the weak, so now they are listening to you and protecting me.”

"Are you going to kill me? How will you explain that to the children?"

Do you want to set a capricious example for your children?

"Or are you going to reveal your true form to the children... Once Ultraman Ace is exposed, the mission on Earth will be over."

"After that, how will you protect the Earth?"

This is an open conspiracy. Beidou only has two choices: either not expose it for the sake of the children, and let the Yabo people go unpunished.

He could either take the initiative to expose himself as Ultraman Ace, in which case he should leave once his mission on Earth is over.

"Damn it!" Beidou angrily slammed his fist against the cave wall, then decisively raised his gun and aimed at the Simon alien.

This action immediately terrified the children protecting the Simonians.

"Brother Beidou, what are you doing?" Duan asked.

"Do you want to shoot Simon?"

"The Super Beast chased Simon to Earth. Do you think that if you kill Simon, Earth will be safe?" a child nearby guessed.

"Didn't you teach us to protect the weak? Why are you doing this?!"

“No, that’s not how it is.” Beidou shook his head, trying to explain.

From behind, the Yapool people, disguised as Simonians, spoke in a teasing tone: "It's alright, it's alright, I know the hardships you humans on Earth have."

"If this can ensure the safety of Earth, then I can voluntarily surrender to the Super Beast." His words and actions seemed incredibly sincere.

"I am willing to give my life to protect humanity."

The Yabo people were indeed cunning; with just a few words, they packaged themselves as tragic heroes.

Upon hearing this, the children naturally refused: "No, we promised to protect you!"

Kenta continued, "Hokuto-nii, say something! You won't hand Simon over, will you?"

Beidou didn't speak, his finger on the trigger, aiming at the Simon alien's head: "This guy has been lying all along, he's a Yapool in disguise!"

“You’re talking nonsense. You think that just because he’s a Yabo, you can hand him over without any problem? Do you?” The children seemed to suddenly come to their senses.

"Does Brother Beidou think we're fools who can't even see through this kind of lie?"

"No, children, I have always been sincere with you." Even though the children misunderstood him, Beidou's gaze towards them remained full of hope.

The next instant, he pointed at the smug 'Simon Alien' and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

"Oh!"

Tucker's sidearm spewed fire, and an energy projectile shot out, accurately hitting the 'Simonian's' head, leaving a red, bloody hole on its skull.

After being shot in the head, the 'Simon Alien' instantly lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground, powerless.

At the same time, the surrounding children screamed: "Simon!"

"Brother Beidou, you're shameless!"

"Yes, Tucker is the most despicable team!"

"You were the one who told us to protect him, and now you've killed him with your own hands!"

“Children, believe me.” Beidou put away his sidearm and stepped out of the cave: “I will produce evidence that will convince you.”

After saying that, Beidou raised both hands at the same time, and the Ultra Rings on the middle fingers of both hands glowed.

"Watch closely, this is my final transformation."

He said that when he pressed his fists together in front of his chest, the glowing rings touched, and light burst forth from the rings, enveloping his entire body.

The light, possessing infinite possibilities, stretched and expanded his body.

A moment later, Ultraman Ace, who was so familiar to the children, appeared!

The children exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Beidou is Ace?!"

"Brother Beidou is Ace!"

On the other side, the Tucker team members were also stunned.

“Hokuto…you’ve been hiding your abilities for a long time.” Captain Ryugoro gave two wry laughs, but his eyes were filled with more relief than anything else.

Noriko, on the other hand, acted much more normally, as if she had already guessed it, and smiled.

"Hokuto, you've been lying to us for so long! You have to treat us to a meal next time!" Konno shouted.

"Beidou, you haven't been secretly laughing at me behind my back, have you..." The strongest reaction came from the mountain team members.

The rookie in Team TAK, whom he had always disliked, was Ultraman Ace, who silently protected the Earth. It would be hard for anyone to accept that.

After a long silence, the team members shouted, "Beidou, you will defeat this super beast, right?!"

"Qia!" Ultraman Ace nodded and turned to rush towards Super Beast King.

……

At the very back of the crowd, Baluru and Songsheng stood together. Baluru opened his mouth to speak, but then saw Lord Zetton appear behind him at some point.

"Baruru, what have you learned?" Su Yang asked.

Baruru hesitated: "I've learned... well, don't be fooled by appearances."

"Luckily, Song Sheng didn't listen to me and intervene directly, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to witness this final reversal."

“You’re right, sir. This is a trial for Beidou and the children.” Baruru honestly admitted his mistake.

Su Yang: "That's good. When you help them unseal in the future, just be careful and make sure they don't die. It would be even better if you could also help me collect some delicious monsters. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Baruru asked, "So, is it permissible to intervene in this battle now?"

“Ace can handle this himself,” Su Yang said, pointing to the distant battlefield.

Having gone through so many battles, Ultraman Ace, while not completely overwhelming King Gumbo, could be said to have a significant advantage.
