Across Ultra: Half Dream

Feeling Chloe's guilt, Taylor rubbed her head and said, "It's okay! Don't worry, I'm here, and I'll be the one to get beaten."

After hearing what Taro said, Chloe was so moved that she hugged Taro and rubbed him hard. "Ah~ah~ [Uncle, you are so kind!]"

"Xiao Yi, do you want to accompany me to the Ultra Training Base? There are many Ultramen there."

"Ah~ah~ [I'm going, I'm going!]" Chloe nodded vigorously. [I wonder if I can see Uncle Man.]

Seeing Chloe nod, Taro took her to the Ultra Training Base.

Upon entering, Chloe saw numerous Ultramen training. Some were practicing light skills, others were engaging in combat drills, and still others were simulating battle scenes. Watching them train, Chloe clapped her hands excitedly and urged Taro to take her over.

At this time, an Ultraman walked towards Taro, "Taro, why did you bring Chloe with you?"

Taylor smiled and said, "Bring Xiao Yi to see it, she is very curious."

Then, the Ultraman looked at Chloe lovingly and said to her: "Hello, Chloe, I am Ultraman, your Uncle Man."

Chloe looked at the gentle Ultraman and cried out excitedly: "Ah~ah~"

Looking at Chloe's excited expression, Ultraman gently touched Chloe's head.

The Ultra Warriors who were in training had their eyes lit up brighter than usual when they saw the cute cubs. They were absent-minded in their training and kept glancing towards Chloe.

"What are you doing?! You're not even paying attention during training. If there's a cub like this on the battlefield in the future, you'll just have to watch her perish!"

"You can only feel guilty for the rest of your life! You can't blame yourself!! Are you willing to accept this?!" Looking at the Ultramen who were not focused on their training, Taro admonished them without waiting for Ultraman to speak.

After hearing what Taro said, the others regained their spirits and began training seriously.

Seeing this scene, Ultraman patted Taro on the shoulder and said, "Taro, you are more suitable to be the chief instructor than me. I will talk to Brother Zoffy later."

"Hmm?? Brother Man, you're more suitable than me." Taylor picked up Chloe and ran away. While running away, he complained with lingering fear, "Luckily I ran away quickly, otherwise I would be busy."

Chloe looked at her uncle with amusement, "Uncle, you can't run away."

Suddenly, Taro, who was walking, felt a chill and sneezed violently. He wondered, "Huh? I've never heard of Ultraman catching a cold. Could it be that someone is trying to harm me?"

Just when Taro was alert, Zoffy sent a message: "Taro, I think what Ultraman said makes sense. Starting tomorrow, you will take over as the chief Ultra instructor!"

"Huh??? No way!!" Taro felt like the sky was falling when he saw the message.

[Oh my, my uncle didn't escape in the end.] Chloe thought with gloating pleasure.

Hikari, who had just left the Science and Technology Bureau, had been observing Chloe for a while and was very satisfied. "It seems Chloe is very smart and not at all like that butcher Ace. She's a perfect fit for the Science and Technology Bureau!"

Just as Hikari made her decision, Chloe felt a chill on her back and sneezed violently. "No, who's trying to plot against me?"

The next moment, Chloe saw Hikari coming towards them, looking worried. Chloe thought she had seen it wrongly [Huh?? Worried?? No...]

Looking at Chloe's varied expressions, Hikari maintained a worried look, feeling increasingly satisfied. "Hmm, she's really smart, perfect for the Technology Bureau!"

Just as the two of them were thinking about this and that, they were already face to face.

"Tairo, why did Chloe suddenly sneeze? Is she feeling unwell? Should I check her out?"

Seeing that Hikari's worried expression didn't seem fake, Taro handed Chloe to Hikari and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you, Hikari-nii."

Chloe looked at Taro in shock. "Ah~ah~ [You just gave me to him like that? You trust him so much??]"

Hikari coaxed Chloe expressionlessly, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Yi, I'm just checking you out."

Hearing this, Chloe watched as Hikari struggled with a look of terror, holding a syringe thicker than her arm. "Ah! Ah! Uncle Taro! Help! Help! Uncle Hikari is going to kill someone! He's not going to kill me!!"

When Taro saw Hikari's actions, he felt something was wrong, but thinking that Chloe might be feeling unwell, he didn't think much about it.

Seeing that the needle was about to pierce her body, Chloe subconsciously swung out a beam of energy and knocked the needle out of Hikari's hand.

"Hmm? He's truly a genius. He can already use his energy after only being born for a few days. I have to study him carefully."

The next moment, Hikari saw that the cub in his hand had disappeared. He looked up and saw that Taro was holding Chloe and flew away at the speed of light. He disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Tsk, I accidentally said it. But don't worry, Chloe, you can't run away." Hikaru said expressionlessly, then turned around happily and went back to the Science and Technology Bureau to continue his experiment.

"Ah!!" A scream suddenly sounded on the street. When the Aos looked carefully, they found that a red Ao had a syringe as thick as a cub's arm stuck in his butt.

Seeing this scene, all the Ao covered their buttocks and retreated in fear. The next moment, the street was empty. In the next few days, all the Ao put on several shields when they went out, and looked around in fear.

Later, news came out from the Ao that it was Director Hikari who randomly selected the lucky winner that day, and the Ao secretly called him the "blue-skinned devil".

His gaze returned to Taro and Chloe.

Chloe was so frightened by Hikari's careless words that she felt like she was petrified. She slapped Taro, who was also petrified, and told him to run. "Ah! Ah! [Uncle, you're still dazed! Run! My life is in danger!]"

Taro finally reacted to the pain, snatched Chloe from Hikari's hands, and ran away with her. He was still frightened when he met Seven and was stopped by him.

"Taro, what a disgrace! You're running wildly with Chloe in your arms, aren't you afraid of falling? I think you're too idle. Brother Zoffy's decision is correct." Seven looked at Taro seriously, while holding Chloe in his arms.

Hearing Seven's words, Taro felt hopeless. Then he thought of what had just happened and quickly said to Seven, "Brother Seven, Hikari wants to use Xiao Yi for an experiment!!"

"What?!" Seven was furious. "Let's go! Find Hikaru!"

Then, Seven picked up Chloe with one hand and held Taro by the back of the neck with the other hand and flew towards the Technology Bureau.

Looking at Seven's movements and the direction he flew, Chloe burst into tears. "Isn't this just door-to-door delivery?"

"Boom!" The splendid entrance to the Science and Technology Bureau shattered to the ground. However, the Lan Ao who were conducting experiments did not react.

But things were different for Hikari. At the crucial moment of the experiment, a loud bang caused Hikari's hand to tremble, and the experiment failed. The next moment, Hikari was no longer there, holding the knight's sword.

Seven, who was still standing in front of the broken door of the Technology Bureau and was about to retract his leg with his legs raised, saw Hikaru holding up the knight's sword and looking at them with a look of despair.

"Hi, Hikari..." Seven was very scared. "Listen to my explanation!"

"Seven! If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, you will devote yourself to my experiment!" Hikaru wiped the knight's lightsaber and looked at Seven Sanao with a sneer.

Seven Three looked at Hikaru in horror, forgot the purpose of his visit, turned around and wanted to run away.

As a result, the next moment, they were tied up tightly by Hikari's new invention. Seven and Taro looked on helplessly as Hikari walked towards them, holding a syringe thicker than their thighs. "Since you're here, leave some light particles!"

“Ah!! x2”

Chloe watched in horror as Seven and Taro screamed and their timers began to flash wildly. However, before she fainted, she was still thinking, "As expected of a blue-skinned demon!" The next second, she passed out.

Here, Hikaru was looking at the two syringes filled with red particles in his hands with great satisfaction. Turning around, he saw Chloe had fainted, which really worried Hikaru.

Hikaru could only carry the unconscious Chloe to the Silver Cross Hospital.

Hikari looked at Mother of Ultra worriedly, "Mother, please check on Chloe. She has fainted."

"Okay, I'll check." Mother of Ultra breathed a sigh of relief after a careful examination. "She was just too frightened, and she was a little weak, so she fainted. She's nothing serious." Hearing this, Hikari's heart finally settled down.

After making arrangements for Chloe, Hikari came outside the ward and dialed Zoffy's light screen, "Captain, I've captured Seven and Taro... um... and Chloe, she fainted and is now in the Silver Cross Hospital... Okay, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Hikari leaned against the wall and couldn't help but sigh. [Am I that scary? I didn't do anything...]

After thinking for a long time and failing to come up with a solution, Hikari put it aside and started checking the experimental data from the previous experiment, waiting for Zoffy.

After a while, Zoffy arrived.

As soon as Zoffy arrived, before he had time to ask Hikari, he heard Mother of Ultra calling him in.

After Zoffy and Hikari entered, they looked at Mother of Ultra in confusion, "Mother, is there something wrong with Chloe?"

"Yes and no." Mother of Ultra shook her head. "I discovered that Chloe's affinity for light is ninety-nine percent."

"Ninety-nine percent?" Zoffy looked at Mother of Ultra in shock. "Higher than me, my father, and Belia back then?"

Mother of Ultra looked at the unconscious Chloe with concern. "That's right, but I found that her origin is not complete yet. She is missing a part of her origin. Therefore, before her origin is found, she will be easily eroded by the power of darkness."
