People in Ultraman: Beginning Plunder and Fusion

(The author believes readers won't have the patience to watch the later episodes of Tiga transforming and fighting useless monsters, so let's skip directly to episode 51 of Gatanothor.)

After all, the development phase doesn't follow the usual pattern; the raider grabs all the good stuff and then runs away.

If Duolue were to travel directly to the future, he worried that his Green Membrane Hotel would be destroyed by the monsters that appeared.

Duolue entered the warehouse inside the Green Membrane Hotel, threw out miniaturized Elode cards, and instructed them to protect the hotel. He then opened all the empty boxes inside.

Then a wormhole appeared on each empty box, and each wormhole connected to the system's storage space.

A lot of healing fruits fell out of the wormhole; a total of three hundred healing fruits fell out.

It will take a long time to leave the Green Membrane Hotel.

After Duolue left the warehouse and told Manager Suning what had happened, she was shocked, but still agreed to manage the hotel.

They also dressed the Elodians in clothes and hoods to conceal their identities and protect the hotel, while the healing fruits were given to those who had contracted incurable diseases or were injured.

Duolue thought that waiting any longer would be too boring, so he opened a wormhole, entered a time tunnel, and skipped the rest of the plot.

(Readers are probably already tired of seeing Ultraman Tiga's world.)

He traveled directly through time and space to the episode of Dark Ruler, returning to his presidential suite in the Green Membrane Hotel and enjoying life. All he needed to do was wait for Daigo to evolve and shine, and then he could add him to his collection ahead of time.

At this moment, Duo Lue approached Suning's manager and asked, "How many Healing Fruits are left?"

The Suning manager replied, "We've used it all up since yesterday. Boss, you're finally back today."

Why didn't Duolue directly travel to the episode where Daigo evolves into Shining Tiga? Because Duolue eliminated the Elodes in advance, preventing any monster from defeating Tiga earlier.

No one intended to shine a flashlight on Tiga; in the end, they still needed to seize the healing fruit to save Tiga.

The Elord had been doing a great job protecting the hotel. When he saw his master return, he disappeared and turned back into a card, which came into Duolue's hands. Duolue put the Elord card back into the system card space.

The scene shifts to Daigo, whose dual identity—Ultraman Tiga and an ordinary human—is no longer a secret. Rena and Megumi's understanding of him brings him a sense of relief, but also signifies a greater responsibility.

He frankly told them that Dark Tiga and Evil Tiga would no longer appear, and that future battles would rely entirely on his own strength.

With their combined efforts, Tiga successfully defeated Zoga, but immediately afterward, a massive number of Zoga surged forth, attacking various parts of the world.

Daigo faces a difficult choice: he cannot keep transforming to eliminate them one by one.

Meanwhile, the eerie black fog rising from the ocean brings new fear to this already crisis-ridden world.

The black fog seemed endless, accompanied by lightning, blotting out the sky and turning day into night in an instant.

Daigo and Rena piloted the Flying Swallow back to base headquarters. Rena's voice held a hint of worry: "Our fate seems to be sealed. Black Tiga and Evil Tiga will no longer help you. Do you really think you can win by transforming into Tiga alone?"

Daigo's answer was full of confidence and determination: "I will definitely try my best to change my fate. I believe that even without the help of Blackie and Evilie, I will definitely be able to defeat the final enemy with my own strength."

In the far reaches of the ocean, an ancient and mysterious building lies quietly on the seabed, its appearance simple and peculiar, as if it were a relic of another world.

The building's surface is covered with a thick layer of seaweed and coral, giving it a desolate and mysterious feel.

At the center of this building, a huge black hole slowly rotates, as if it were a gateway to another world.

Just then, Gatanothor, a powerful dark creature, slowly emerged from the black hole.

Its body was enormous and twisted, as if it were a monster composed of countless dark energies. Its eyes gleamed with an evil light, as if it were searching for something.

Meanwhile, two brave explorers, Hori and Shinjo, are conducting an investigation at sea aboard the Dolphin 202 submarine.

They unexpectedly discovered a dark figure that seemed to be related to Gatanothor's appearance. They quickly contacted headquarters to report the situation.

However, just as they were conducting their investigation, Dolphin 202 suddenly encountered an accident and became trapped in the ocean. Digging Well and New Town faced immense danger; they had to find a solution quickly, or they would be unable to escape.

At the Green Membrane Hotel, Duolue, a clever and resourceful scientist, had already calculated the timing. He knew that Digging Well and New City were in danger, and he decided to take action.

He recalled the episode "Dark Ruler," where the Dolphin 202 malfunctioned, trapping Hori and Munakata at sea. He knew he had a responsibility to save them.

Duolue opened the system card space, used the Gauss card to miniaturize and teleport to the side of Dolphin 202, released a healing ray to repair their submarine, and then teleported back to the Green Membrane Hotel to deactivate the transformation and continue to enjoy himself.

Inside Dolphin 202, Hoi discovered that the device had been restored and exclaimed happily, "Munekata, look! The device is back up! Now we can go back to base!"

Hori and Shinjo happily piloted the submarine back to base.

Just as Daigo and Rena arrived at the base entrance in their Flying Swallow, they were surprised to find a cloud of black mist invading the base.

Daigo and Munakata closed all the doors to the black mist, but frighteningly, physical methods were completely ineffective against it.

Left with no other option, the best way for the Victory Team to survive now is to abandon their base.

All staff members at the base were arranged to take refuge on the Yagedis.

On this desolate ruin, the once bustling world has turned to dust. The roads are gone, overgrown with weeds, leaving only broken walls and rubble.

All the affected people took refuge underground, but strangely, only the Green Membrane Hotel remained intact. All the monster's firepower was absorbed by the wormhole opened by the thief. Because of the monsters near the Green Membrane Hotel, the Galactron cards that the thief threw out were also absorbed.

Galactron used its right-hand floating cannon. The cannon's muzzle slowly rotated, aiming at the target, which was instantly obliterated under the bombardment.

The strategist assigned Galactron to eliminate all the monsters in the vicinity, while he himself leisurely enjoyed himself in the presidential suite.

The group of Zoga disappeared and turned into cards, which were then evenly distributed among the seven monster generals—Kiri Elode, the Five Emperors, Hyper Zetton, Zippanton, Amedron, Ultimate Serpent, and Galactron—to enhance their flight speed.

Finally, Gatanothor surfaced, and a monster appeared in the Pacific Ocean, ready to swallow the entire world into darkness.

At this time, the GUTS team had not yet left the base, and everyone at headquarters was watching the monster Gatanothor through a large satellite communication screen.

Daigo silently read, "Blackie! And Evilie! Is he my test?"

Suddenly, the screen went black, and with a loud bang, the machine exploded instantly. Flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed out.

Satellite communications are no longer working, and the black fog has spread into headquarters.

"As captain," Megumi Kijima commanded, "I hereby order everyone to board the Arcdis immediately!"

Masaki Keigo's Mechanical Tiga is still in his secret base underground. Mechanical Tiga has strength comparable to Dark Tiga's, and he could easily walk to the secret base and pilot Mechanical Tiga to destroy Gatanothor.

However, Masaki Keigo did not do that. Nothing happened to him, and he seemed to be too careful and cautious, as if he had not done anything secretly.

One by one, the members of the GUTS team left the headquarters, including Masaki Keigo, but Daigo stayed behind, his figure appearing particularly lonely in the empty room.

His determination was unwavering, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable resolve.

He knew he had to stay; he had his own mission and responsibilities.

Now, only Daigo, Rena, and Megumi remained at headquarters. Rena looked at Daigo, her eyes filled with worry and unease.

She knew how daunting the challenges Daigo was about to face were, and she worried about his safety.

Daigo sensed Rena's worry, but he didn't show it. He took out the Spark Prism, the key to his transformation into Ultraman Tiga. Looking at Rena and Megumi, he said firmly, "I can do it all by myself."

Megumi looked at Daigo, her eyes filled with respect and trust. She recalled the first time she met Ultraman Tiga; she had once thought he was God, a savior. But only now did she truly understand that Ultraman Tiga was both light and humanity.

He possesses human emotions and vulnerabilities, as well as the power and strength of light.

Megumi said with deep emotion, "Daigo, even without the help of Black Tiga and Evil Tiga, you must win! Tiga!" Her voice was full of encouragement and expectation; she believed that Daigo could overcome all difficulties and achieve victory.

Rena and Megumi left headquarters and boarded the Axdis, preparing to provide air support to Daigo. Munakata, as a senior member of the team, handed over the piloting of the Axdis to Rena.

He knew that although Lina was young, her courage and wisdom made her the most suitable driver.

Daigo stayed alone at headquarters. He took a deep breath, took out the Spark Prism, and prepared to transform into Ultraman Tiga and head to the battlefield to fight Gatanothor.

His eyes were firm, and his heart was filled with determination and courage.

As the Spark Prism flashed, Daigo transformed into Ultraman Tiga. His body was enveloped in light, and his power and courage reached their peak at that moment. He strode forward and headed for the battlefield.

Ultraman Tiga arrived at the ruins and felt the oppressive darkness. Gatanothor appeared before him, its body enormous and twisted, radiating an evil aura.

Gatanothor's oppressive aura was immense, but for Dark Tiga in his current state, it was far too weak.

Ultraman Tiga had experienced the oppressive aura of Black Tiga, an indescribable fear and despair. In contrast, the oppressive aura of Gatanothor did not affect Tiga at all.

He knew he had enough strength and courage to face this enemy.

Ultraman Tiga faced Gatanothor head-on, his eyes gleaming with unwavering determination. He knew this battle would be a difficult challenge, but he was not afraid.

Ultraman Tiga first fired a beam of light, attempting to probe Gatanothor's location and reaction. However, he quickly discovered that Gatanothor's position seemed to be welded shut, making it impossible to move.

This made him realize that the battle would be much more difficult than he had imagined.

Nevertheless, Tiga did not back down. He mustered his courage and charged at Gatanothor, ready to defeat this powerful enemy with his strength and courage. His fist struck Gatanothor like lightning, but Gatanothor endured the damage.

Even while enduring the damage, Gatanothor didn't forget to retaliate. It spewed out a cloud of black mist, scorching Ultraman Tiga. The burning black mist caused Tiga pain, but he didn't give up.

Then, Gatanothor extended its tentacles hidden in the sea, binding Tiga's movements.

Just as Tiga and Gatanothor were locked in combat, the Arcdis successfully landed on nearby land free of the black fog. Nori acted swiftly and successfully re-established communication.

He began broadcasting live from the cockpit, showing the world this battle that would determine the fate of the seas.

However, as soon as the satellite imagery was connected, everyone saw a less than optimistic situation.

Although Ultraman Tiga bravely fought against fate, he was clearly at a disadvantage. He was tightly bound by Gatanothor's tentacles and unable to move freely.

At this moment, a red warning light illuminated, and the situation became extremely urgent. Ultraman Tiga faced immense danger; he had to find a way to break free from the tentacles' grasp, or he would be unable to continue fighting.

Among the group of parents, most had given up hope, but their children continued to shout encouragement. Their innocence and perseverance brought a glimmer of hope to this battle.

Encouraged by the children, Ultraman Tiga switched to his Power Type, breaking free from the tentacles binding his neck. His body was now brimming with power.

Immediately afterwards, he concentrated all his power and unleashed a powerful fireball that struck Gatanothor hard.

"Did we win?" the crowd exclaimed, anticipating the end of the battle. However, reality is often cruel; Gatanothor was unharmed, its powerful dark energy rendering Tiga's attacks ineffective.

The next second, Ultraman Tiga used his last bit of power to unleash his ultimate beam attack, but Gatanothor remained unharmed.

As Tiga's energy was depleted, his body began to fade and eventually turned into a stone statue.

As more of the statue submerged, a huge splash erupted on the sea surface, creating a spectacular waterfall-like effect. Finally, the statue sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared from sight.

"Daigo!" Rena exclaimed in surprise, her voice filled with shock and unease. She couldn't believe that Daigo would leave in such a way.
